I am please to announce the availability of the "baseline" package. This tool streamlines creation and maintenance of tests which compare string output against a baseline. It offers a mechanism to compare a string against a baselined copy and update the baselined copy to match the new value when a mismatch occurs. The update process includes a manual step to facilitate a review of the change before acceptance. The tool uses multi-line string format for string baselines to improve readability for human review. Docs: https://baseline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/baseline/ Repo: https://github.com/dmgass/baseline License: MIT With Regards, Dan Gass (dan.gass at gmail) *********** Quick Start *********** Create an empty baseline with a triple quoted multi-line string. Place the ending triple quote on a separate line and indent it to the level you wish the string baseline update to be indented to. Add a compare of the string being tested to the baseline string. Then save the file as ``fox.py``: .. code-block:: python from baseline import Baseline expected = Baseline(""" """) test_string = "THE QUICK BROWN FOX\n JUMPS\nOVER THE LAZY DOG." assert test_string == expected Run ``fox.py`` and observe that the ``assert`` raises an exception since the strings are not equal. Because the comparison failed, the tool located the triple quoted baseline string in the source file and updated it with the miscompared value. When the interpretter exited, the tool saved the updated source file but changed the file name to ``fox.update.py``: .. code-block:: python from baseline import Baseline expected = Baseline(""" THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG. """) test_string = "THE QUICK BROWN FOX\n JUMPS\nOVER THE LAZY DOG." assert test_string == expected After reviewing the change with your favorite file differencing tool, accept the change by either manually overwriting the original file or use the ``baseline`` command line tool to scan the directory for updated scripts and accept them: .. code-block:: shell $ python -m baseline * Found updates for: fox.py Hit [ENTER] to update, [Ctrl-C] to cancel fox.update.py -> fox.py Run ``fox.py`` again and observe the ``assert`` does not raise an exception nor is a source file update generated. If in the future the test value changes, the ``assert`` will raise an exception and cause a new source file update to be generated. Simply repeat the review and acceptance step and you are back in business! <P><A HREF="https://baseline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/"> baseline 0.2.1</A> - Easy String Baseline (07-Jun-18)

Vulture 0.29

by Jendrik Seipp

Vulture - Find dead code ======================== Vulture finds unused code in Python programs. This is useful for cleaning up and finding errors in large code bases. If you run Vulture on both your library and test suite you can find untested code. Due to Python's dynamic nature, static code analyzers like Vulture are likely to miss some dead code. Also, code that is only called implicitly may be reported as unused. Nonetheless, Vulture can be a very helpful tool for higher code quality. Download ======== https://github.com/jendrikseipp/vulture http://pypi.python.org/pypi/vulture Features ======== * fast: uses static code analysis * tested: tests itself and has complete test coverage * complements pyflakes and has the same output syntax * sorts unused classes and functions by size with ``--sort-by-size`` * supports Python 2.7 and Python >= 3.4 News ==== * Add ``--ignore-names`` flag for ignoring names matching the given glob patterns (thanks @RJ722). Cheers Jendrik
