Description : Module to create Python codec for tests using RSpec inspired DSL
This is a project creates a custom Python codec that lets you write your
tests using an RSpec inspired DSL (i.e. describe and it blocks).
.
It uses the fact that you can register a codec that is able to modify a
Python file before executing it. Using this when Python imports a file with
a particular encoding as the first line of the file it will be intercepted
and potentially rewritten into something else before the import continues.
.
nose-of-yeti uses this technique to translate from the DSL it defines, into
Python classes and functions that then will be executed by your test
framework of choice.
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Debian Python team.
It is needed to run the tests for python-dict2xml, which are now
provided in the upstream tarball.
