| py.test 2.1.0: perfected assertions and bug fixes |
| =========================================================================== |
| |
| Welcome to the release of pytest-2.1, a mature testing tool for Python, |
| supporting CPython 2.4-3.2, Jython and latest PyPy interpreters. See |
| the improved extensive docs (now also as PDF!) with tested examples here: |
| |
| http://pytest.org/ |
| |
| The single biggest news about this release are **perfected assertions** |
| courtesy of Benjamin Peterson. You can now safely use ``assert`` |
| statements in test modules without having to worry about side effects |
| or python optimization ("-OO") options. This is achieved by rewriting |
| assert statements in test modules upon import, using a PEP302 hook. |
| See http://pytest.org/assert.html#advanced-assertion-introspection for |
| detailed information. The work has been partly sponsored by my company, |
| merlinux GmbH. |
| |
| For further details on bug fixes and smaller enhancements see below. |
| |
| If you want to install or upgrade pytest, just type one of:: |
| |
| pip install -U pytest # or |
| easy_install -U pytest |
| |
| best, |
