OK, I think I understand my confusion now. Since I had a <div><br></div><div>directory = coverage_html_report </div><div><br></div><div>line in my configuration file I assumed that this directory would just start getting magically populated with data as the processes were running. Now I see that nothing happens until run </div>
<div><br></div><div>coverage report | html etc</div><div><br></div><div>Sorry for the noise.</div><div><br></div><div>dustin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Dustin Lee <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:qhfgva@gmail.com">qhfgva@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>My expectation now is that *any* python process that kicks off from here on out should be logging coverage data. (Is that right?)</div><div><br></div><div>Now is where I get lost. I threw some lines in the coverage code itself to see if the configuration file was getting read and if process_startup was being called (and they were). So now I'm trying to figure out where my output is going to or if I need to do something special to make the output start dumping. Or if I'm even thinking about things correctly.</div>
