tox 0.5: a generic virtualenv and test management tool for PythonΒΆ
I have been talking about with various people in the last year and
am happy to now announce the first release of tox
. It aims
to automate tedious Python related test activities driven
from a simple tox.ini
file, including:
- creation and management of different virtualenv environments
- installing your package into each of them
- running your test tool of choice (including e.g. running sphinx checks)
- testing packages against each other without needing to upload to PyPI
tox
runs well on Python2.4 up until Python3.1 and integrates
well with Continuous Integration servers Jenkins. There are many
real-life examples and a good chunk of docs. Read it up on
and please report any issues. This is a fresh project and i’d like to drive further improvements from real world needs.
best,
