python-specfor 0.1.0

A Framework for Behavior Driven Development(BDD) based on stdlib's unittest

It is inspired from Ruby’s RSpec. Spec definition is based on Python decorator description.

Features

• Python decorator based “Spec” definition
• “Spec” definition is compatible with unittest.TestCase
• Spec files can execute with unittest or nosetests
• RSpec like Expectation (e.g. the[xxx].should.be[yyy])
• Decorator based “Mock” object definition
• All features can be used independently: e.g. use spec with nose.tools
• Markdown document generator from spec file
• Single code implementation for multi python version (2.5-2.7, 3.1)

Spec Example

# examples/sum_spec.py
from specfor import the, spec

empty_list = spec.of("empty list")
int_list = spec.of("int list")

@empty_list.before()
def prepare(its):
    its.list = []
    its.sum = 0

@int_list.before()
def prepare(its):
    its.list = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11]
    its.sum = 28

@empty_list.that("sum")
@int_list.that("sum")
def sum_spec(its):
    result = sum(its.list)
    the[result].should == its.sum

spec.publish(globals())
