• python
  • Data Types
  • Syntax
  • Function
  • Class
  • Other

• pygrass
  • Modules
  • GIS
  • Vector
  • Raster

How to test library

pygrass has doctest inside its code. You can run doctest inside the North Carolina basic location, using the mapset user1.

To test the single module (file) you have to move to the source code of pygrass and run the following code (this is an example of functions.py):

 python -m doctest functions.py
