Overview of this book

Python is a versatile programming language that can be used for a wide range of technical tasks—computation, statistics, data analysis, game development, and more. Though Python is easy to learn, it’s range of features means there are many aspects of it that even experienced Python developers don’t know about. Even if you’re confident with the basics, its logic and syntax, by digging deeper you can work much more effectively with Python – and get more from the language. Python Unlocked walks you through the most effective techniques and best practices for high performance Python programming - showing you how to make the most of the Python language. You’ll get to know objects and functions inside and out, and will learn how to use them to your advantage in your programming projects. You will also find out how to work with a range of design patterns including abstract factory, singleton, strategy pattern, all of which will help make programming with Python much more efficient. Finally, as the process of writing a program is never complete without testing it, you will learn to test threaded applications and run parallel tests. If you want the edge when it comes to Python, use this book to unlock the secrets of smarter Python programming.

Parameterization


Key 2: Manageable inputs to tests.

For the tests where we have to test various inputs for the same functionality or transformations, we have to write test cases to cover test different inputs. We can use parameterization here. In this way, we invoke the same test case with different inputs, hence, decreasing time and errors that are associated with it. Newer Python versions 3.4 or higher include a very useful method, subTest in unittest.TestCase, which makes it very easy to add parameterized tests. In the test output, please note that the parameterized values are also available:

import unittest
from itertools import combinations
from functools import wraps

def convert(alpha):
    return ','.join([str(ord(i)-96) for i in alpha])
        
class TestOne(unittest.TestCase):
    
    def test_system(self,):
        cases = [("aa","1,1"),("bc","2,3"),("jk","4,5"),("xy","24,26")]
        for case in cases:
            with self.subTest(case=case):
                self.assertEqual...
