"""Decorators for labeling test objects.

Decorators that merely return a modified version of the original function
object are straightforward.  Decorators that return a new function object need
to use nose.tools.make_decorator(original_function)(decorator) in returning the
decorator, in order to preserve metadata such as function name, setup and
teardown functions and so on - see nose.tools for more information.

This module provides a set of useful decorators meant to be ready to use in
your own tests.  See the bottom of the file for the ready-made ones, and if you
find yourself writing a new one that may be of generic use, add it here.

Included decorators:


Lightweight testing that remains unittest-compatible.

- An @as_unittest decorator can be used to tag any normal parameter-less
  function as a unittest TestCase.  Then, both nose and normal unittest will
  recognize it as such.  This will make it easier to migrate away from Nose if
  we ever need/want to while maintaining very lightweight tests.

NOTE: This file contains IPython-specific decorators. Using the machinery in
IPython.external.decorators, we import either numpy.testing.decorators if numpy is
available, OR use equivalent code in IPython.external._decorators, which
we've copied verbatim from numpy.

def make_label_dec(label,ds=None):

    Parameters
    ----------
      label : string or sequence
      One or more labels that will be applied by the decorator to the functions
    it decorates.  Labels are attributes of the decorated function with their
    value set to True.

      An optional docstring for the resulting decorator.  If not given, a

    A simple labeling decorator:

# preserve function metadata better and allows the skip condition to be a

def skipif(skip_condition, msg=None):
    ''' Make function raise SkipTest exception if skip_condition is true

    Parameters
    ----------
    skip_condition : bool or callable.
        Flag to determine whether to skip test.  If the condition is a
        callable, it is used at runtime to dynamically make the decision.  This
        is useful for tests that may require costly imports, to delay the cost
        until the test suite is actually executed.
    msg : string
        Message to give on raising a SkipTest exception

   Returns
   -------
   decorator : function
       Decorator, which, when applied to a function, causes SkipTest
       to be raised when the skip_condition was True, and the function
       to be called normally otherwise.

    Notes
    -----
    You will see from the code that we had to further decorate the
    decorator with the nose.tools.make_decorator function in order to
    transmit function name, and various other metadata.
