The core point is the same: With sufficient test coverage, you can change one variable (Python 3 vs 2) and control for all others. Tests are not an end, they are a means to an end; the courage to change your software in the face of a constantly changing world.
Sounds like you're not there, but maybe you have specific domains of EVE that you feel comfortable changing at your whim. That's the success to focus on.

- mitchty 13y agoSomewhat naive too to be honest. As someone that had just plain old ruby circa 1.8.5ish code (not rails) that I ported to 1.9 a while back, even with tests there were differences in behavior that I guarantee you probably weren't thinking of writing a unit test for. Unit tests are nice, but they don't make things braindead easy. Just make it a bit easier to narrow down where something might be broken/different.
