All packages for running tests and building documentation will be installed.

Testing

Free Python Games currently tests against three versions of Python:

  • CPython 3.4

  • CPython 3.5

  • CPython 3.6

Testing uses tox. If you don’t want to install all the development requirements, then, after downloading, you can simply run:

$ python setup.py test

The test argument to setup.py will download a minimal testing infrastructure and run the tests.
