Tests

A standalone test runner is integrated in setup.py; to run, just execute setup.py test Aside from that, our runner of choice is twisteds trial; ran via:

trial snakeoil

if you’re doing development, trial is significantly friendlier; the standalone runner is designed to be used mainly for installations of snakeoil, where all tests must pass, else installation is aborted.

Installing

pretty simple:

tar jxf snakeoil-0.XX.tar.bz2
cd snakeoil-0.XX
python setup.py build

if after running tests:

cd snakeoil-0.xx
python setup.py test

finally, installing:

cd snakeoil-0.xx
python setup.py install
