Python continuous integration

Question

I want to create a continuous integration server for a python project. Normally this would create a project, but since python was not built as such, what should be done instead? Just unit tests? Or are there additional steps that anyone can recommend?

Answer 1

There are some great resources on using Jenkins with Python:

• Discussion with PyCon
• Blog post .
• Another blog post .

A standard option would be to run unittests, record test coverage, and run pylint or another style check.

Answer 2

Using Jenkins / Hudson for continuous integration is a standard approach.
