Also we try to be as much pep8 compatible as possible, where possible and reasonable.
Test suite¶
python-snap7 comes with a test suite with close to 100% coverage. This test suite verifies that the code actually works and makes development much easier. To run all tests please run from the source:
$ make test
Note that some tests require to run as root, since snap7 needs to bind on a privileged TCP port.
If the test complain about missing Python modules make sure the source directory is in your PYTHONPATH environment variable, or the python-snap7 module is installed.
