Thanks for the detailed info and link. I have 1 last question. The
exercise was using py.test and i have to say i don't really like it at
all. Some of it seems really confusing. unittest seems a lot more
straight forward and clear in detail. Is it ok to ignore the pythonic
test framework and go with unitest?? or should i stick with py.test as
it may be better in the long run?
