.. nose documentation master file, created by sphinx-quickstart on Thu Mar 26 16:49:00 2009.
You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
contain the root `toctree` directive.
Note to Users
=============
Nose has been in maintenance mode for the past several years and will likely
cease without a new person/team to take over maintainership. New projects
should consider using `Nose2 <https://github.com/nose-devs/nose2>`_, `py.test
<http://pytest.org/>`_, or just plain unittest/unittest2.
Installation and quick start
============================
*On most UNIX-like systems, you'll probably need to run these commands as root
or using sudo.*
Install nose using setuptools/distribute::
easy_install nose
Or pip::
pip install nose
Or, if you don't have setuptools/distribute installed, use the download
link at right to download the source package, and install it in the
normal fashion: Ungzip and untar the source package, cd to the new
directory, and::
python setup.py install
However, **please note** that without setuptools/distribute installed,
you will not be able to use third-party nose plugins.
This will install the nose libraries, as well as the :doc:`nosetests <usage>`
script, which you can use to automatically discover and run tests.
Now you can run tests for your project::
cd path/to/project
nosetests
You should see output something like this::
..................................
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 34 tests in 1.440s
OK
Indicating that nose found and ran your tests.
For help with nosetests' many command-line options, try::
nosetests -h
or visit the :doc:`usage documentation <usage>`.
Python3
=======
nose supports python3. Building from source on python3 requires
`distribute <http://packages.python.org/distribute/>`_. If you don't
have distribute installed, ``python3 setup.py install`` will install
it via distribute's bootstrap script.
Additionally, if your project is using `2to3
<http://docs.python.org/library/2to3.html>`_, ``python3 setup.py nosetests``
command will automatically convert your sources with 2to3 and then run the
tests with python 3.
.. warning ::
nose itself supports python 3, but many 3rd-party plugins do not!
