[Zope-Coders] Testing from an INSTANCE_HOME

[Stefan H. Holek]

Please excuse me for not being clear.

"My" testrunner is concerned with changing sys.path and Products.__path__. 
In no way does it make assumptions about Testing, the test ZODB, or even 
the INSTANCE_HOME environment variable. If you want to change Testing, all 
fine.

I do however believe it is somewhat nicer to type

   python /Zope/utilities/testrunner.py -qia

than having to do things like Toby Dickenson (set lots of envars) or Chris 
Withers (hack Testing).

Regards,
Stefan
