using pytest or unittest

Hello @lcpt. Did you think about using pytest for test? Because it has many features that we can use, like mock object, test coverage tools and so on. Thanks.

I firstly used it on my pyconcrete project.

Hi @ebrahimraeyat

If I have understood correctly, the main advantage is that you can instruct pytest to perform a series of tests on your code helping to detect errors like the one in test_shell_mitc9_02.py. I didn't know this tool, but I agree that it can be very useful.

Thanks.

Probably yes. I think it is very useful. There is a real good example of using pytest in ezdxf package, for example look to this file:
