Look out for a more robust testing framework

I'm not a great fan of cram. It works, but it forces us to write workarounds (see #37). If you can think of a better solution, please let me know.

py.test seems to be the bandwagon these days. In addition, some people (not me personally) like to wrap it with tox.

I love py.test, but it is meant for unit tests. I think it is a good idea to add unit tests (with py.test), but those do not replace wholesale functional tests, which is what cram currently provides.

PyInstaller has extensive functional testing all based on py.test.

Thanks, I'll study that.

Closing this as I consider it an archived discussion.
