[TIP] ANN: pytest-couchdbkit 0.4

[Ronny Pfannschmidt]

Hello,

I'm happy to announce the release of pytest-couchdbkit 0.4,
which is the first release of the py.test couchdbkit integration i 
consider reasonably complete for others to use.

It is available on http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-couchdbkit/0.4

pytest-couchdbkit
=================

pytest-couchdbkit is a simple pytest extension that manages test databases
for your couchdbkit using apps.

In order to use it, you only need to set the ini option
`couchdbkit_suffix` to something fitting your app.
Additionally you may use `couchdbkit_backend` to select
the gevent/eventlet backends.


To setup couchapps before running the tests,
there is the `pytest_couchdbkit_push_app(server, dbname)` hook

It can be used to create a pristine database,
which is replicated into each test database.



The provided funcarg `couchdb` will be a freshly flushed database
named `pytest_` + couchdbkit_suffix,
additionally, after each test item,
the database will be dumped to tmpdir.join(couchdb.dump)

which is a simple file having entries in the format::

     number(\d+) + "\r\n" + number bytes + "\r\n"

entries are:

* the db info
* documents
* raw attachment data following the document

Attachments are ordered by name,
so they can be reassigned to their metadata on loading.

The dump format is meant to be human-readable.



Future
------

* fs fixtures (like couchapp)
* code fixtures
* dump fixtures
* comaring a db to sets of defined fixtures
