Re: Testing a Django library

There's no Django community standard of which I'm aware for doing this.

There *is* a standard way to run tests for Python projects which use setuptools (which yours should do if you want people to be able to `pip install` it) [1].

 I usually do something like this blog post describes [2]. Or, you could use this cookie cutter template [3] if you don't want to set it up manually yourself. It's probably the closest thing you'll find to a "standard".

I am working on a Django library (which will be packaged) and want to set up testing for it. Looking at a number of existing Django libraries, here seem to be a number of ways to set up testing, and all of them are different.

Are there any best practices? Is there a guide that specifies how it should be done?
