* Package name : python-noseofyeti Version : 2.3.1 Upstream Author : Stephen Moore * URL : https://github.com/delfick/nose-of-yeti * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : Module to create Python codec for tests using RSpec inspired DSL This is a project creates a custom Python codec that lets you write your tests using an RSpec inspired DSL (i.e. describe and it blocks). . It uses the fact that you can register a codec that is able to modify a Python file before executing it. Using this when Python imports a file with a particular encoding as the first line of the file it will be intercepted and potentially rewritten into something else before the import continues. . nose-of-yeti uses this technique to translate from the DSL it defines, into Python classes and functions that then will be executed by your test framework of choice. I plan to maintain this package as part of the Debian Python team. It is needed to run the tests for python-dict2xml, which are now provided in the upstream tarball.
