unittest2pytest is a tool that helps rewriting Python unittest test-cases into pytest test-cases.

In contrast to other similar tools, this unittest2pytest

• handles keyword arguments,

• handles single-line test-cases and several tests on one line,

• uses context-handlers where appropriate.

This is done by using lib2to3 and Python’s mighty inspect module.

Installation

To install unittest2pytest, simply run:

pip install unittest2pytest

Usage

To print a diff of changes that unittest2pytest will make against a particular source file or directory:

unittest2pytest source_folder

To have those changes written to the files:

unittest2pytest -w source_folder

To have those changes written to another directory:

unittest2pytest -w source_folder --output-dir /some/where/else

By default, this will create backup files for each file that will be changed. You can add the -n option to not create the backups. Please do not do this if you are not using a version control system.

For more options about running particular fixers, run unittest2pytest --help or read the lib2to3 documentation. This tool is built on top of that one.

Fixes

A list of the available fixers can be found with the following:

$ unittest2pytest -l
Available transformations for the -f/--fix option:
