What is the latest way to write Python tests? What modules/frameworks to use?
And another question: are doctest tests still of any value? Or should all the tests be written in a more modern testing framework?
Thanks, Boda Cydo.
The usual way is to use the builtin unittest module for creating unit tests and bundling them together to test suites which can be run independently.
unittestis very similar to (and inspired by) jUnit and thus very easy to use.If you’re interested in the very latest changes, take a look at the new PyCon talk by Michael Foord:
