Re: Resources/pointers for writing maintable, testable Python

Indeed, I skimmed the TOC for Test-Driven Development with Python and it does look to be rather Django-centric (which makes it a bit less helpful to me). I will take a look at "Testing Python: Applying Unit Testing, TDD, BDD and Acceptance Testing"! Thanks, Jacob On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 8:33 AM,

Ah, what I should have done is note that I am writing Python 2.7 (and this is at work, with all that entails...), but am happy to take advice that applies only to Python 3 (even 3.5 or 3.6.0a1!) and work backwards to apply it to Python 2.7. I think I would be (perhaps pleasantly) surprised if ther
