    222: Import within a Python package

    In this episode we're talking about importing part of a package into another part of the same package. We'll look at: `from . import module` and `from .module import something` and also:  `import package` to access the external API from with the package. Why would we use `import package` if `from . import api` would work fine?  Learn pytest pytest is the number one test framework for Python.Learn the basics super fast with Hello, pytest!Then later you can become a pytest expert with The Complete pytest CourseBoth courses are at courses.pythontest.com

    221: How to get pytest to import your code under test

    We've got some code we want to test, and some tests.The tests need to be able to import the code under test, or at least the API to it, in order to run tests against it.How do we do that? How do we set things up so that our tests can import our code? In this episode, we discuss two options: Installing the code under test as a pip installable package with `pip install -e /path/to/local/package`.Using the pythonpath pytest setting.  Learn pytest pytest is the number one test framework for Python.Learn the basics super fast with Hello, pytest!Then later you can become a pytest expert with The Complete pytest CourseBoth courses are at courses.pythontest.com

    220: Getting the most out of PyCon, including juggling - Rob Ludwick

    PyCon US is just around the corner.  I've asked Rob Ludwick to come on the show to discuss how to get the most out of your PyCon experience. There's a lot to do. A lot of activities to juggle, including actual juggling, which is where we start the conversation. Even if you never get a chance to go to PyCon, I hope this interview helps you get a feel for the welcoming aspect of the Python community. I recorded this interview as an episode for one of my other podcasts, Python People. But I think it's got some great pre-conference advice, so I'm sharing it here on Python Test as well. We talk about: - Juggling at PyCon- How to get the most out of PyCon    - Watching talks    - Hallway track    - Open spaces    - Lightening talks    - Expo hall / vendor space    - Poster sessions    - Job fair    - A welcoming community    - Tutorials     - Sprints    - But mostly about the people of Python and PyCon.

    218: Balancing test coverage with test costs - Nicole Tietz-Sokolskaya

    Nicole is a software engineer and writer, and recently wrote about the trade-offs we make when deciding which tests to write and how much testing is enough. We talk about: Balancing schedule vs testingHow much testing is the right about of testingShould code coverage be measured and trackedGood refactoring can reduce code coverageIs it worth testing error conditions?Are rare error codes ok to just monitor?API drift and autospecMitigating riskDeciding what to test and what not to testFocus testing on key money-making features If there's a bug in this part of the code, how much business impact is there?Performance testing needs to approximately match real world workloadsCost of a service breaking vs the cost of creating, maintaining, and running testsKeeping test suites quick to minimize getting distracted Links: Too much of a good thing: the trade-off we make with tests Load testing is hard, and the tools are... not great. But why?Yet Another Rust Resource (YARR!)Goodhart's law - "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"  Learn pytest pytest is the number one test framework for Python.Learn the basics super fast with Hello, pytest!Then later you can become a pytest expert with The Complete pytest CourseBoth courses are at courses.pythontest.com
