The tox-quickstart
command is used to quickly set up a tox.ini
file for a Python project. tox
is a generic virtualenv management and test command-line tool that allows you to easily run tests in multiple Python environments.
When you run tox-quickstart
, it will walk you through a series of interactive questions to generate a basic tox.ini
file based on your project's needs. It will ask for information like the name of your test environment, the Python versions to test against, the test command, and other configuration options.
After answering all the questions, tox-quickstart
will generate a tox.ini
file in your project's directory. This file can be customized further to add additional testing configurations or environment settings.
Once the tox.ini
file is set up, you can simply run the tox
command in your project's directory to automatically create virtual environments, install dependencies, and run tests across the specified Python versions. This helps ensure that your project works consistently across different Python environments.
