GitHub - astropy/pytest-astropy: Metapackage for all the testing machinery used by the Astropy Project (original) (raw)

pytest-astropy

This is a meta-package that pulls in the dependencies that are used byastropy and some affiliated packages for testing. It can also be used for testing packages that are not affiliated with the Astropy project.

This package also provides pytest markers for cpu and memory intensive tests (pytest.mark.slow and pytest.mark.hugemem). Tests marked with those markers are not run by default, can be run with the other tests with--run-slow and --run-hugemem, and can be run separately with -m slowand -m hugemem.

The package also provides the short option -R for --remote-data.
