Testing a Django library

[th...@copperleaf.com]

I am working on a Django library (which will be packaged) and want to set up testing for it. Looking at a number of existing Django libraries, here seem to be a number of ways to set up testing, and all of them are different.

Are there any best practices? Is there a guide that specifies how it should be done?

Very interesting topic. We will be facing the same problem soon, and will hope to learn from your experience. Got a code repository yet?

We're at https://github.com/django-rea

If and when we have some good answers, I'll report back here.

What are the different approaches you found?

I created a simple minimal project inside the tests folder

Hi,

Tox is quite neat test wrapper makes which easy to test code against multiple versions of Python and Django.

There's no Django community standard of which I'm aware for doing this.

There *is* a standard way to run tests for Python projects which use setuptools (which yours should do if you want people to be able to `pip install` it) [1].

 I usually do something like this blog post describes [2]. Or, you could use this cookie cutter template [3] if you don't want to set it up manually yourself. It's probably the closest thing you'll find to a "standard".
