Package: ipython_pytest
ipython_pytestThis little IPython extension gives you the ability to
run tests using Pytest in an IPython Notebook.The motivation for the extension was to make it possible to
demonstrate test-driven development using pytest in an IPython
notebook driven presentation.This extension does not attempt to enable using notebooks as test
suites. The intention is also not to collect test results from
multiple cells, but to do separate test runs for cells in an
interactive presentation.This extension attempts to achieve forpytestwhat theipython_noseextension does fornose. Unfortunately it isn’t able
to inject globals from the notebook environment into the test like the%%nosecell magic in ipython_nose. Instead, inipython_pytest, all imports, constants and helper functions need
to be contained in the test cell itself.InstallationMake sure your IPython Notebook server can importipython_pytest.py(e.g.
copy it to a directory in yourPYTHONPATH, or modifyPYTHONPATHbefore starting IPython Notebook). It’s also probably sufficient to haveipython_pytest.pyin the directory from which you run the notebook, e.g.:$ ls
ipython_pytest.py
$ ipython notebookYou can also install it in a virtualenv in developent mode:$ cd ipython-pytest
$ pip install -e .UsageAdd a cell containing:%load_ext ipython_pytestsomewhere in your notebook.Write tests that conform to Pytest conventions, e.g.:def test_arithmetic():
    assert 1+1 == 2Add a cell consisting of:%%pytest

def test_my_stuff():
    assert 42 == 42to your notebook and run that cell. That will discover yourtest_*functions, run them, and show console output from
Pytest.Pass standard Pytest arguments to the magic:%%pytest --tb=shortCaveatsNone of the objects defined in other cells of the notebook are available
in the test cell.AuthorsAntti Kaihola <antti dot kaihola at eniram dot fi>Other similar toolsThanks to Taavi Burns for the idea in hisipython_nosepackage.Christopher Prohm has created theipytestpackage for running pytest and
