py.test 2.1.0: perfected assertions and bug fixes
===========================================================================
Welcome to the release of pytest-2.1, a mature testing tool for Python,
2011-07-08 19:16:32 +08:00
supporting CPython 2.4-3.2, Jython and latest PyPy interpreters. See
the improved extensive docs (now also as PDF!) with tested examples here:
http://pytest.org/
The single biggest news about this release are **perfected assertions**
courtesy of Benjamin Peterson. You can now safely use ``assert``
statements in test modules without having to worry about side effects
or python optimization ("-OO") options. This is achieved by rewriting
assert statements in test modules upon import, using a PEP302 hook.
See http://pytest.org/assert.html#advanced-assertion-introspection for
detailed information. The work has been partly sponsored by my company,
merlinux GmbH.

For further details on bug fixes and smaller enhancements see below.
If you want to install or upgrade pytest, just type one of::
pip install -U pytest # or
easy_install -U pytest
best,

----------------------------------------------
- fix issue53 call nosestyle setup functions with correct ordering
- fix issue58 and issue59: new assertion code fixes

for test modules on python 2.6 and above are done by rewriting
the AST and saving the pyc file before the test module is imported.
