What is the best unit testing framework for Python?

• Some candidates, although not fully inclusive: unittest: http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html unittest2: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest2 Nose: http://readthedocs.org/docs/nose/en/latest/ mox: http://code.google.com/p/pymox/ pyunit: http://pyunit.sourceforge.net/ py.test: http://pytest.org/latest/ Although I'm sure there are others.

• Answer:

  nose: http://readthedocs.org/docs/nose/ "nose extends unittest to make testing easier." Nose is fairly widely used and has an active community. The plugins can be a bit arcane, but are very powerful. I would recommend pairing nose with fabric to create simple test runners that you can invoke with something like "fab test". from fabric.api import * import nose @task def test(*args): # perform custom initializations, for example pylons <...> # now run tests nose.main(argv=(["fabtest", "--with-doctest"] + list(args)))
