I do quite a lot of programming in Ruby. When I do so, my code tends
to have the following layout:
/path/to/src/my_project
Inside my_project:
lib/
test/
my_project.rb
my_project.rb uses classes and helper methods in lib
Inside test, I have a test suite that also uses classes and helper
methods in ../lib
This seems like a sensible way to keep tests and other code separate.
In Python I don't know how to do this.... so I just have all my tests
in the same place as the rest of the code.
a) Is my above way a sensible and pythonic approach?
Yes, python does not enforce how you should structure your directory
tree (though you will need to put several __init__.py files here and there).
b) If so - how can I do it in Python?
/path/to/src/my_project
-> lib/
` __init__.py
` somelib.py
-> tests/
` __init__.py
` test_one.py
` my_project.py
` run_test.py
and you can reference your libraries and tests like so:
# my_project.py
from lib.somelib import SomeClass
import lib.somelib as sl
# run_test.py
import tests
tests.test_one.run_test()
c) If not, is there a better way than having all the tests in the same
place as the rest of the code?
