inelegant 0.0.5

Inelegant, a directory of weird helpers for tests.

“Inelegant” is a set of not very elegant tools to help testing. So far

there are five packages:

inelegant.net: the most important tools are the waiter functions. inelegant.net.wait_server_down() will block until a port in a host is not accepting connections anymore, and inelegant.net.wait_server_up() will block until a port in the host will be ready for receiving data. There is also inelegant.net.Server, that sets up a very dumb SocketServer.TCPServer subclass for testing.

inelegant.finder: contains the inelegant.finder.TestFinder class. It is a unittest.TestSuite subclass that makes the task of finding test cases and doctests way less annoying.

inelegant.module: with inelegant.module.create_module(), one can create fully importable Python modules. inelegant.module.installed_module() will create and remove the importable module.

inelegant.process: home of inelegant.process.Process, a nice multiprocessing.Process subclass that makes the process of starting, stopping and communicating with a function in another process easier enough.

inelegant.fs: tools for file system operations. Most notably, context managers to make such operations reverted. So, now once can “cd” into a directory and be back to the original one, create a temporary file and have it automatically deleted after the context, and the same with temporary directories.
