If you want to run the full suite of tests, there are a number of dependencies that 

you should install:



    *  PyYAML_

    *  Markdown_

    *  Textile_

    *  Docutils_

    *  setuptools_



Of these dependencies, setuptools_ is the only dependency that is required - if

setuptools_ is not installed, you will get import errors when running one of

the template tests. The tests using the other libraries will be skipped if the

Django the dependency can't be found. 



.. _PyYAML: http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML

.. _Markdown: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Markdown/1.7

.. _Textile: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/textile

.. _docutils: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/docutils/0.4

.. _setuptools: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/



To run a subset of the unit tests, append the names of the test modules to the

``runtests.py`` command line. See the list of directories in

``tests/modeltests`` and ``tests/regressiontests`` for module names.
