twisted.trial._dist.__init__ module documentation

This package implements the distributed Trial test runner:

• The twisted.trial._dist.disttrial module implements a test runner which runs in a manager process and can launch additional worker processes in which to run tests and gather up results from all of them.
• The twisted.trial._dist.options module defines command line options used to configure the distributed test runner.
• The twisted.trial._dist.managercommands module defines AMP commands which are sent from worker processes back to the manager process to report the results of tests.
• The twisted.trial._dist.workercommands module defines AMP commands which are sent from the manager process to the worker processes to control the execution of tests there.
• The twisted.trial._dist.distreporter module defines a proxy for twisted.trial.itrial.IReporter which enforces the typical requirement that results be passed to a reporter for only one test at a time, allowing any reporter to be used with despite disttrial's simultaneously running tests.
• The twisted.trial._dist.workerreporter module implements a twisted.trial.itrial.IReporter which is used by worker processes and reports results back to the manager process using AMP commands.
• The twisted.trial._dist.workertrial module is a runnable script which is the main point for worker processes.
• The twisted.trial._dist.worker process defines the manager's AMP protocol for accepting results from worker processes and a process protocol for use running workers as local child processes (as opposed to distributing them to another host).
