tox is a generic virtualenv management and test command line tool
Project description
Rewrite branch
You've arrived at the rewrite branch. This is a fresh start for tox in which we aim to create a better implementation for what tox is. The broad goal is to:
- use modern Python with type annotations (
3.6+only) - be more flexible in from where we take our configuration (proper
pyproject.tomlsupport besides our canonicaltox.inifile) - a better interface to plug and play your own python environment (historically tox was designed to work with the
virtualenvproject, but we want to be able to use insteadconda,Docker, OS package manager, remote machines, etc.) - first class support for non-sdist packages (in python land e.g. wheels)
- ability to plugin support for other languages that follow the build/install/test paradigm (e.g. node)
- make it more flexible (ability to override any value via the CLI)
- make it faster (improve interpreter discovery, lazy configuration manifestation, and many more).
Compatibility wise we aim to be (excluding some weird edge cases) configuration file compatible with tox 3. We'll not be API compatible though (all plugins will break).
Documentation
To be done.
