Python News

I was trying to find a metadata scrubber and couldn't find one, so I asked /r/linux, and a bunch of people stepped up and together we made one! It's written in Python and uses PyGTK, but it works for Linux and Windows, and I'm working on an OSX package right now.

If you're on windows and want to run the software, you can use this installer: http://github.com/downloads/Miserlou/FreeScrub/FreeScrub-0.1.Setup.exe

If you'd like to play with the code, you can fork the project from here: http://github.com/mikm/FreeScrub

Plenty of work left to be done, but thought you might be interested! R

I've been wanting something to show me what parts of my application are yet to be covered, since nothing I could find worked for Python3 I wrote my own.

Usage is pretty simple, simply take this:

if __name__ == '__main__': unittest.main() 

And turn it into this

if __name__ == '__main__': test_program = unittest.main(exit=False) module_skip = []# Skip modules dirs_skip = []# Skip directories covers.get_coverage(test_program, 'the_path_of_this_app', verbose=True, module_skip, dirs_skip) 

Along with taking this:

class My_test_class(unittest.TestCase): 

And turning it into this:

class My_test_class(unittest.TestCase): test_targets = [my_function, my_other_function]# Mark the functions we test 

As it's a first go I'm sure I've made a bajillion mistakes (going by past experience here) but since it's working pretty nicely for me I figured that others may find a use for it.
