rich-cli VS pytest

I hope he doesn't mind, but the creator of Rich and Textualize is a good guy, and Scottish: https://www.willmcgugan.com/about/

You are using print statements too much. I understand the use due to it being a CLI application but still I suggest you look at textualize.

For more than a year I have been refactoring coBib, getting rid of its original ncurses-based TUI in favor of a more modern and a lot more maintainable textual-based TUI. Developing it has been a lot of fun and I must say that the team over at Textualize is doing a great job at developing libraries which are somehow very powerful and extensible while still being easy to use!

Will McGugan is among the most well-known Python developers. He's the author of Rich, a library for formatting output in the terminal. It's used, among others, by pip, and has more than 40K stars on GitHub. In 2021, Will started building Textual, a TUI (text user interface) framework based on Rich. At the end of the year, he founded the company Textualize.

The future of the command line is something along the lines of what these guys are doing:

IF you ever wanted to build rich User Interfaces that work in the terminal with mouse support written in Python, then Textual is the Library for you.

If you change your mind about Python there's textual+rich, https://www.textualize.io/.

In this blog post I want to demonstrate how my lab equipment such as a lab power supply or a digital multimeter (DMM) have been integrated into some pytest-based tests. Would love to get your feedback and thoughts! 🚀

Pytest: is a third-party testing framework that supports fixtures, parameterized testing, and easy test discovery while having room to add plugins to extend its functionality.

Next, you need to install a testing framework that will be used for performing unit testing in your project. Several testing frameworks are available depending on the programming language used to create an application. For example, JUnit is commonly used for Java apps, pytest for Python apps, NUnit for .NET apps, Jest for JavaScript apps, and so on. We’ll use the Jest framework for this tutorial since we are using JavaScript.

Yea, read through the pytest docs.

I absolutely agree about fixtures-as-arguments thing. Ward does this a lot better, using default values for the fixture factory. There's a long issue on ideas to implement something like that as a pytest plugin (https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3834), but it seems the resulting plugin relies on something of a hack.

I recommend writing a few tests. py.test makes that quite simple:

Since ITK's inception in 1999, there has been a focus on engineering practices that result in high-quality software. High-quality scientific software is driven by regression testing. The ITK project supported the development of CTest and CDash unit testing and software quality dashboard tools for use with the CMake build system. In the Python programming language, the pytest test driver helps developers write small, readable scripts that ensure their software will continue to work as expected. However, pytest can only test Python scripts by default, and errors in untested computational notebooks are more common than well-tested Python code.
