This post continues on from part 2. If you’ve gone through the prior posts in this series, you have a fully functioning package. Now we’ll distribute that package. Continue reading Solution Development in Python, Part 3 →

Continuing on from part 1, we now have a nice little package that we wrote. Let’s refine this package to be a little more in line with Python practices, add some tests (well, a test), and provide some console execution. Continue reading Solution Development in Python, Part 2 →

It’s been awhile since I tackled anything too traditionally “technical.” Lately I’ve encountered many testers who are interested in using Python as their ecosystem of choice for test solutions, particularly in data science or machine learning environments. So here I’ll talk about being a test solution developer in a Python context and what it means to create solutions in this ecosystem. Continue reading Solution Development in Python, Part 1 →

A lot of testers like to use Python. A lot of testers are on Windows machines. There is currently a large gap in the Python world between the 2.x and 3.x branch. (See more details on this.) This often puts testers in the position of having to make Python solutions that run on both versions. But, on Windows at least, this has been tricky in terms of having two Python versions installed and easily moving between them. Here I’ll talk about how the Python development team has eased this with the Windows launcher.
