1. Abstract¶
Modern landscapes of information infrastructures are commonly designed and organized as stacks of runtime service environments. The technical architecture of the service stacks consists of a wide range of heterogenous landscapes of components frequently requiring adaptation and mediation with extended installations by setuptools / distutils via setup.py. The variants require in particcular thorough tests in order to fit reliably into the various target platforms and configurations.
The setuptestx supports the basic interface to call the required regression tests by a unique interface on all supported source and target platforms. This includes for example some of the basic paramteters for Jython related to Java.
For tested standard OS and distributions see installation / Tested OS and Python Implementations. These are supported as the platform for the creation of the Python distributions, once the distribution package is created, setuplib is no longer required. So for example on the runtime environments for IoT devices such as MicroPython.
