Question

what are some of the industry wide used continuos integration tool , nightly build system for Python based program.

We want to automate the a lot of manual testing and then use daily running system to test automatically. We are using Pyunit for writing unit test.

Answer 1

Buildbot is written in python/twisted, and all of it's configuration syntax is in python, so it's very easy for python programmers to setup. A bunch of open source projects use it including python itself.

Personally, I think it's UI leaves something to be desired compared to Jenkins/Hudson, but it's functionality is fantastic.

Answer 2

Jenkins (forked from Hudson after it was bought by Oracle), despite being written originally for Java, has a significant following in the Python community.

There are even a number of tutorials:

• http://jenkins-ci.org/content/python-love-story-virtualenv-and-hudson
• http://jenkins-ci.org/content/screencast-python-hudson-part-1

Answer 3

We have a reasonably large project all in python, we're using github for version control with buildbot as our nightly build system. http://trac.buildbot.net/ It works really well except when you get called out in the "blamelist"
