222: Import within a Python package

Episode 222

Saturday, September 7, 2024 • Duration 12:02

In this episode we're talking about importing part of a package into another part of the same package.

We'll look at: `from . import module` and `from .module import something`

and also: `import package` to access the external API from with the package.

Why would we use `import package` if `from . import api` would work fine?

213: Repeating Tests

Episode 213

Friday, January 19, 2024 • Duration 13:22

If a test fails in a test suite, I'm going to want to re-run the test. I may even want to re-run a test, or a subset of the suite, a bunch of times.
There are a few pytest plugins that help with this:

We talk about each of these in this episode.

Len Wanger works on industrial 3D printers. And I was pleased to find out that
there's a bunch of Python in those printers as well.

In this episode we talk about:

3D printers
What are the different types of 3D printers?
Where are 3D printed industrial parts being used?
Why use one type of additive manufacturing over another?
Python in 3D printing hardware.
What are Finite State Machines, FSMs?
Benefits of FSMs for testing, logging, and breaking a complex behavior into small testable parts.
Benefits of simulation in writing and testing software to control hardware.

119: Editable Python Installs, Packaging Standardization, and pyproject.toml - Brett Cannon

Episode 119

Friday, June 26, 2020 • Duration 36:07

There's stuff going on in Python packaging and pyproject.toml.

Brett and I talk about some upcoming work on Python packaging, such as:

editable installs
the need for standardization
configuration of other tools in pyproject.toml

And then get off on tangents and talk about:

why it's good to have packages like pip, toml, setuptools, wheel, etc not part of the standard library
should we remove some stuff from the standard library
the standard library using unittest for testing the standard library
- why not hypothesis
- I didn't bring up "why not pytest?" but you know I was thinking it.
why CPython and not C++Python
and more

118: Code Coverage and 100% Coverage

Episode 118

Friday, June 26, 2020 • Duration 42:49

Code Coverage or Test Coverage is a way to measure what lines of code and branches in your code that are utilized during testing.
Coverage tools are an important part of software engineering.

But there's also lots of different opinions about using it.

Should you try for 100% coverage?
What code can and should you exclude?
What about targets?

I've been asked many times what I think about code coverage or test coverage.
This episode is a train of thought brain dump on what I think about code coverage.

We'll talk about:

how I use code coverage to help me write source code
line coverage and branch coverage
behavior coverage
using tests to ask and answer questions about the system under test
how to target coverage just to the code you care about
excluding code
good reasons and bad reasons to exclude code

And also the Pareto Principle or 80/20 rule, and the law of diminishing returns and how that applies (or doesn't) to test coverage.

116: 15 amazing pytest plugins - Michael Kennedy

Episode 116

Monday, June 8, 2020 • Duration 51:28

pytest plugins are an amazing way to supercharge your test suites, leveraging great solutions from people solving test problems all over the world. In this episode Michael and I discuss 15 favorite plugins that you should know about.

We also discuss fixtures and plugins and other testing tools that work great with pytest

tox
GitHub Actions
Coverage.py
Selenium + splinter with pytest-splinter
Hypothesis

And then our list of pytest plugins:

pytest-sugar
pytest-cov
pytest-stress
pytest-repeat
pytest-instafail
pytest-metadata
pytest-randomly
pytest-xdist
pytest-flake8
pytest-timeout
pytest-spec
pytest-picked
pytest-freezegun
pytest-check
fluentcheck

That last one isn't a plugin, but we also talked about pytest-splinter at the beginning. So I think it still counts as 15.
