Have you ever written a single file Python application or script? Have you written tests for it? Do you check code coverage? This is the topic of this weeks episode, spurred on by a listener question. The questions: * For single file scripts, I'd like to have the test code included right there in the file. Can I do that with pytest? * If I can, can I use code coverage on it? The example code discussed in the episode: script.py def foo(): return 5 def main(): x = foo() print(x) if name == 'main': # pragma: no cover main() test code To test: pip install pytest pytest script.py To test with coverage: put this file (script.py) in a directory by itself, say foo then from the parent directory of foo: pip install pytest-cov pytest --cov=foo foo/script.py To show missing lines pytest --cov=foo --cov-report=term-missing foo/script.py def test\_foo(): assert foo() == 5 def test\_main(capsys): main() captured = capsys.readouterr() assert captured.out == "5\n" Suggestion by @cfbolz (https://twitter.com/cfbolz/status/1368196960302358528?s=20) if you need to import pytest:

if __name__ == '__main__': # pragma: no cover main() else: import pytest
