With the introduction of type hinting in Python 3.5, static typing and checking Python codes has started to gain popularity. While MyPy was the first tool to do static type checking of Python code, many other frameworks have been built after it. Pyright is one such tool built by Microsoft...
As we discussed in our post on getting started with Pytest, the framework allows us to reuse tests by using test fixtures and parameterized functions. In this post, we will learn how to do so. We will build on the simple calculator example that we discussed in the previous post...
Testing our code brings in a variety of benefits, including building confidence in the code’s functioning and having lesser regressions. Writing and maintaining tests requires some additional work, and that is why we want to leverage tools as much as we can. Python does provide inbuilt tools such as unittest...
When we start building a Python project that goes beyond simple scripts, we tend to start using third-party dependencies. When working on a larger project, we need to think about managing these dependencies in an efficient manner. And when installing dependencies, we always want to be inside virtual environments. It...
