tox 2.8.2

virtualenv-based automation of test activities

What is Tox?

Tox is a generic virtualenv management and test command line tool you can use for:

• checking your package installs correctly with different Python versions and interpreters

• running your tests in each of the environments, configuring your test tool of choice

• acting as a frontend to Continuous Integration servers, greatly reducing boilerplate and merging CI and shell-based testing.
