Some remarks about the Cython code base

Stefane Fermigier, 16 jul. 2020.

Tests

Cf. HackerGuide · cython/cython Wiki · GitHub.

Tests are run using the runtests.py script. A test run takes between 15 and 20 minutes on a decent machine.

See this Travis run.

It’s also possible (but doesn’t seem to be officially supported) to launch a subset of the test suite using the command: pytest tests/. Most of the tests in tests/ pass, and the run is quite quick (~5s):

=========================== short test summary info ============================
FAILED tests/run/test_asyncgen.py::AsyncGenAsyncioTest::test_async_gen_await_same_aclose_coro_twice
FAILED tests/run/test_asyncgen.py::AsyncGenAsyncioTest::test_async_gen_await_same_anext_coro_twice
FAILED tests/run/test_grammar.py::GrammarTests::testAssert2 - AssertionError:...
FAILED tests/run/test_grammar.py::GrammarTests::test_funcdef - AssertionError...
============ 4 failed, 159 passed, 12 skipped, 42 warnings in 4.42s ============

Proposals

1. Update tox.ini to be on par with the current version of .travis.yml, then simplify the Travis config to rely on Tox, using the tox-travis plugin, to remove duplication.
2. Split the test suite.

Code style and linters

The Cython code doesn’t adhere to PEP8.

Proposals

1. Run black on the code base.
