Create a server that tests uploaded packages on PyPI.

Work to be done

The work is separated into three steps:

a solution capable of running scripts when an event occurs (a new release of project X is available on PyPI)
a Continuous integration server able to run the testsuite for those distributions
a quality mesurement tool, able to provide feedback and indicators on the code (compliance PEP8, pyflakes, potentially malicious softwares etc.)

Resources

- 2010 idea and code

- 2011 updated idea

- On this wiki: PyPITestingInfrastructure

What do people want

What do people what to run

Run quality indicators about the code
Run quality indicators about the packaging (compat with du2 standards for instance)
Run Test
Run setup.

What do people what to know

Report about the run itself (does the test pass ? does the install went well ?)
Report about system access done (FS network)
Report about resource used ? (bonus)
