NAME

tox - virtualenv-based automation of test activities  

SYNOPSIS

tox [options] [args ...]  

DESCRIPTION

tox is a generic virtualenv management and test command line tool you can use for:

checking your package installs correctly with different Python versions and interpreters
running your tests in each of the environments, configuring your test tool of choice
acting as a frontend to Continuous Integration servers, greatly reducing boilerplate and merging CI and shell-based testing.

--develop
install package in the venv using 'setup.py develop' via 'pip -e .' (default: False)
-i URL, --index-url URL
set indexserver url (if URL is of form name=url set the url for the 'name' indexserver, specifically) (default: None)
--pre

-r, --recreate
force recreation of virtual environments (default: False)
--result-json PATH
write a json file with detailed information about all commands and results involved. (default: None)
--hashseed SEED
set PYTHONHASHSEED to SEED before running commands. Defaults to a random integer in the range [1, 4294967295] ([1, 1024] on Windows). Passing 'noset' suppresses this behavior. (default: None)
--force-dep REQ
