[New-bugs-announce] [issue12907] Update test coverage devguide page

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

The devguide needs to be updated with new coverage.py instructions. It seems that the script in issue11561 has been integrated into coverage.py's own repo, which means we now have a way to get much more complete coverage of the stdlib. But it also means that users need to build the tracer extension in coverage.py. That might require a little extra hand-holding as compiling from a checkout can mean needing to unset CPPFLAGS in order to not pick up the system Python's header files.
