This is a base64 encoding of a zip file, this zip file contains +# a fully functional basic pytest script. +# +# Pytest is a thing that tests packages, pytest itself is a package that some- +# one might want to install, especially if they're looking to run tests inside +# some package they want to install. Pytest has a lot of code to collect and +# execute tests, and other such sort of "tribal knowledge" that has been en- +# coded in its code base. Because of this we basically include a basic copy +# of pytest inside this blob. We do this because it let's you as a maintainer +# or application developer who wants people who don't deal with python much to +# easily run tests without installing the complete pytest package. +# +# If you're wondering how this is created: you can create it yourself if you +# have a complete pytest installation by using this command on the command- +# line: ``py.test --genscript=runtests.py``. + sources = """ @SOURCES@""" Repository URL: https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pytest/ -- This is a commit notification from bitbucket.org.
