    For unit testing, there's icontract-hypothesis; with the Preconditions and Postconditions delineated by e.g. decorators, it's possible to generate many of the fuzz tests from the additional Design by Contract structure of the source.

    From https://github.com/mristin/icontract-hypothesis :

    > icontract-hypothesis combines design-by-contract with automatic testing.

    > It is an integration between icontract library for design-by-contract and Hypothesis library for property-based testing.

    > The result is a powerful combination that allows you to automatically test your code. Instead of writing manually the Hypothesis search strategies for a function, icontract-hypothesis infers them based on the function’s [sic] precondition

    Just in case you are looking for an alternative approach: if you write contracts in your code, you might also consider crosshair [1] or icontract-hypothesis [2]. If your function/method does not need any pre-conditions then the the type annotations can be directly used.

    (I'm one of the authors of icontract-hypothesis.)
