Purpose

This library is an illustration of the various tasks and components involved in the process of publishing a small open-source Python package on PyPI, including establishment of linting standards, implementation of unit tests, measurement of coverage, and basic continuous integration.

Package Installation and Usage

The package is available on PyPI:

python -m pip install published

The library can be imported in the usual ways:

import published
from published import published

Testing and Conventions

All unit tests are executed and their coverage is measured when using nose (see setup.cfg for configuration details):

nosetests

Alternatively, the unit tests that are included in the module itself can be executed using doctest:

python published/published.py -v

Style conventions are enforced using Pylint:

pylint published
