Simple import test for Python packages

This library implements a set of simple verification tests for an installed Python distribution, or an installed Python module.

Examples

Verify installation of a Python distribution

To verify correct installation of a Python distribution named lorem:

$ python3 -m package_smoke_test --distribution lorem
Interpreter: /usr/bin/python3
        3.11.4 (main, Jun  7 2023, 10:13:09) [GCC 12.2.0]
Distribution ‘lorem’:
        Lorem Ipsum 2.7.3

Verify installation of Python packages or modules

To verify correct installation of a set of Python packages or modules, named dolor, sit, and amet:

$ python3 -m package_smoke_test --module dolor sit amet
Interpreter: /usr/bin/python3
        3.11.4 (main, Jun  7 2023, 10:13:09) [GCC 12.2.0]
Package ‘dolor’:
        <module 'dolor' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lorem/dolor/__init__.py'>
Package ‘sit’:
        <module 'sit' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lorem/sit/__init__.py'>
Package ‘amet’:
        <module 'amet' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lorem/amet/__init__.py'>

Example script for post-installation test

The file doc/examples/smoke-test-python3 is a Bash script that you can customise for your package, to run the above tests.
