conttest 0.0.4

Continuous testing helper, adapted from [1], but which makes no assumption about what tests you might want to run continuously while developing. See also [2].

Any command supplied to the script will be run once and then repeated any time the code in the current working directory changes. You may wish to edit the IGNORE_* tuples to suit your particular setup.

Note that ANY command you supply the script will be run, so be careful. You have been warned!

Installation:

./setup.py install # from source

or

easy_install conttest # or use pip instead of easy_install

Usage examples:

conttest nosetests conttest ‘nosetests -q && pep8 -r .’

Placing a file .conttest-excludes in the current working directory will exclude subdirectories, e.g.:

.svn .git build install

will skip checking for changes in those directories. This can save quite a bit of time and CPU during normal operation. Currently this works for top-level directories only!
