A small Python library to test binary sequences with Golomb's randomness postulates.
Python >=3.10 is required.
pip install pygolomb
Create venv and install dependencies.
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
poetry install
. .venv/bin/activate
pytest
To check test coverage:
pytest --cov=pygolomb tests/
The overall code quality is largely at the same level it was back in 2018. This is to be improved in the future.
There are no plans to have a new GUI at the moment. The old Tkinter application remains in gui directory only for historic purposes.
