Changelog
0.5.1
Bugs fixed:
- The assert hook failed to evaluate list comprehensions and similar
constructs because the loop variable was treated as a variable to be
looked up in the symbol table.
- Variables referencing objects implementing __name__ not returning a
string caused an exception to exit early, if used with the assert hook in
a failing condition.

- Support for evaluated testing with the assert statement by
means of an import hook using the _ast module.
- Assertions of all kinds now run with python -O.
- Deprecated the Assert class in favor of the
import hook.
- Deprecated Loader in favor of a
test_loader attribute on reporters.
- Added the QuickFixReporter for testing from
Vim and other editors.
- Test functions now get as many context arguments as their signature asks
for.
- Organized the code into modules in a package, but everything can still be
imported directly from the attest package.
- Added runnable modules for running test suites by dotted name, python
-mattest on Python 2.7 or newer, python -mattest.run on older
versions.
0.4
- Support for Python 3.1 and PyPy (besides existing support for 2.5-2.7).
- Reporters are now loaded via setuptools entry points, allowing
third-party packages to register themselves automatically. The
get_all_reporters() function was added to complement this
extensibility.
- TestResult was introduced and is now passed to reporters instead
of the more limited set of arguments that were previously passed. This
change is not backwards-compatible if you have custom reporters.
- Conditional test registration: Tests.test_if(),
Tests.register_if(), test_if().
- Many new Assert methods:
- isinstance() and not_isinstance()
- issubclass() and not_issubclass()
- json(), css() and xpath()
- attr() and passed_to()
- Import fallbacks can be tested using disable_imports().
- The Tests constructor now accepts an iterable of contexts.
- Passing Assert objects to the Assert constructor no-longer wraps
multiple levels.
- Test names now include the class name for class-based test.
- Test registration via dotted name now handles unicode.
0.3
- None if yielded from a context is no-longer passed as arguments
to tests.
- Assert.is_() and Assert.is_not(), if passed an
Assert instance, will unwrap it and test against the original
object.
0.2
- Functional tests can now have multiple contexts.
- Tests can be registered by dotted name (import path as string).
- Collections have a command-line interface via Tests.main().
