What’s Next

You are definitely ready to go out and try pytest with your own projects. And check out the appendixes that follow. If you’ve made it this far, I’ll assume you no longer need help with pip or virtual environments. However, you may not have looked at Appendix 3, ​Plugin Sampler Pack​. If you enjoyed this chapter, it deserves your time to at least skim through it. Then, Appendix 4, ​Packaging and Distributing Python Projects​ provides a quick look at how to share code through various levels of packaging, and Appendix 5, ​xUnit Fixtures​ covers an alternative style of pytest fixtures that closer resembles traditional xUnit testing tools.

Also, keep in touch! Check out the book’s webpage^[30] and use the discussion forum^[31] and errata^[32] pages to help me keep the book lean, relevant, and easy to follow. This book is intended to be a living document. I want to keep it up to date and relevant for every wave of new pytest users.
