pyo3-testing: A crate to make testing pyo3 wrapped functions easy in rust

Pyo3-testing is designed to save the need to continually build and install your wrapped extension modules in order to run integration tests in python.

It provides a test attribute #[pyo3test] which allows you to shorten your tests to:

#[pyo3test]
#[pyo3import(py_adders: from adders import addone)]
fn test_pyo3test_simple_case() {
    let result: isize = addone!(1);
    assert_eq!(result, 2);
}

Without pyo3-testing this test can run to over 20 lines of code and randomly fail due to issues with python interpreter pre-initialisation.

For a walk-through guide to using the crate along with lots of other tips on developing rust extensions for python see: Combining rust & python - a worked example

Technical documentation for the crate is available at docs.rs

Recognition

This crate wouldn't be possible or necessary without the amazing work done by pyo3
