========= testtools ========= testtools is a set of extensions to the Python standard library's unit testing framework. These extensions have been derived from years of experience with unit testing in Python and come from many different sources. Licensing --------- This project is distributed under the MIT license and copyright is owned by Jonathan M. Lange. See LICENSE for details. Some code in testtools/run.py is taken from Python's unittest module, and is copyright Steve Purcell and the Python Software Foundation, it is distributed under the same license as Python, see LICENSE for details. Required Dependencies --------------------- * Python 2.4+ or 3.0+ Optional Dependencies --------------------- If you would like to use our undocumented, unsupported Twisted support, then you will need Twisted. If you want to use ``fixtures`` then you can either install fixtures (e.g. from https://launchpad.net/python-fixtures or http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fixtures) or alternatively just make sure your fixture objects obey the same protocol. Bug reports and patches ----------------------- Please report bugs using Launchpad at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/testtools>. Patches can also be submitted via Launchpad, or mailed to the author. You can mail the author directly at jml@mumak.net. There's no mailing list for this project yet, however the testing-in-python mailing list may be a useful resource: * Address: testing-in-python@lists.idyll.org * Subscription link: http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/testing-in-python History ------- testtools used to be called 'pyunit3k'. The name was changed to avoid conflating the library with the Python 3.0 release (commonly referred to as 'py3k').
