# Hi There!
|
||||
# You may be wondering what this giant blob of binary data here is, you might
|
||||
# even be worried that we're up to something nefarious (good for you for being
|
||||
# paranoid!). This is a base64 encoding of a zip file, this zip file contains
|
||||
# a fully functional basic pytest script.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Pytest is a thing that tests packages, pytest itself is a package that some-
|
||||
# one might want to install, especially if they're looking to run tests inside
|
||||
# some package they want to install. Pytest has a lot of code to collect and
|
||||
# execute tests, and other such sort of "tribal knowledge" that has been en-
|
||||
# coded in its code base. Because of this we basically include a basic copy
|
||||
# of pytest inside this blob. We do this because it let's you as a maintainer
|
||||
# or application developer who wants people who don't deal with python much to
|
||||
# easily run tests without installing the complete pytest package.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# If you're wondering how this is created: you can create it yourself if you
|
||||
# have a complete pytest installation by using this command on the command-
|
||||
# line: ``py.test --genscript=runtests.py``.
