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.
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:
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.
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"
