How to testing

If required, you can always call the style commands (black, isort, flake8…) or unit testing ones (pytest) from the command line. However, this does not guarantee that your project is being tested in an isolated environment, which is the reason why tools like tox exist.

The style checks take advantage of pre-commit. Developers are not forced but encouraged to install this tool via:

python -m pip install pre-commit && pre-commit install

make -C doc/ html && your_browser_name doc/html/index.html
