Details

I noticed that the test-case-finder code used by 'cfx testcfx' imports every .py file that it finds in the source tree, to scan each for test cases. That's a drag, it's fairly common to have random little unparseable snippets in .py files, and they shouldn't affect anything unless some normal SDK file imports one explicitly. As a sample, if I create python-lib/cuddlefish/IGNOREME.py with the following contents:

    raise RuntimeError("Why are you importing me?")

then 'cfx testcfx' throws an exception before running any tests.

This is a minor thing.. I may be the only person affected by it. But it'd be nice to fix eventually.
Sorry we won't be releasing any new versions of cfx, jpm is the replacement https://www.npmjs.com/package/jpm

Luckily I know this is not an issue with jpm.
