I am starting to work on a hobby project with a Python codebase and I would like to set up some form of continuous integration (i.e. running a battery of test-cases each time a check-in is made and sending nag e-mails to responsible persons when the tests fail) similar to CruiseControl or TeamCity.
I realize I could do this with hooks in most VCSes, but that requires that the tests run on the same machine as the version control server, which isn’t as elegant as I would like. Does anyone have any suggestions for a small, user-friendly, open-source continuous integration system suitable for a Python codebase?
We run Buildbot – Trac at work. I haven’t used it too much since my codebase isn’t part of the release cycle yet. But we run the tests on different environments (OSX/Linux/Win) and it sends emails — and it’s written in Python.
