<p dir="ltr">Thanks for the explanation guys.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If no one objects, I am happy to take on the task of converting these by removing the tcl-isms. I can start putting up code for review next week.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I agree with Bill since people tend to look at the tests for guidance in implementing their own code so our Python tests should be made made more pythonic now they work.<br>
I found tcl2py really useful when converting the tcl tests a while back. As David pointed out the formatting was quite good with it.</p>

Since we are not creating tcl tests anymore (at least it seems that way), it would be great to cleanup the python tests and get rid of the tcl-isms. It will also make them more useful and easier to read.<div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div></div>I'm not a fan of all the "tcl-isms" in the python tests, myself. The<br>
vtkTclTestToPy converter that was used for most test generates<br>
python code that is barely legible. We have another converter,<br>
tcl2py.py, which isn't quite as powerful but which produces much<br>
nicer output.<br>
