Is there a standard convention, or even a growing one, around where and how to invoke the tests associated with a project? In many projects, I'm seeing it bundled into a Make, a separate test.py script at the top level of the project, etc to do the work.

My Eclipse 3.6 /PyDev setup just did a pydev upgrade to 1.6.0.2010071813 and debugging no longer works. My default python interpreter is 3.1 although I doubt that matters. Until the Eclipse upgrade of pydev, it was working very nicely. ...

I'm setting a cookie within the response headers of my web app using: Set-Cookie: session=7878dfdsfjsdf89sd89f8df9 This does not seem to override the session Cookie.
