Forcing unittest to function [eng]

Talk presentation

Python comes with a built-in unittest testing framework, but even small projects avoid it, because of a fatal flaw: instead of supporting simple and Pythonic test functions, it forces callers to write tests as awkward class methods. But Python is a dynamic language! Shouldn’t we be the ones making the rules? In the talk, we’ll figure out how to use Python’s powers of introspection to detect test functions and successfully hook them up to unittest.
