Hi,

I've mentioned I'm working on a book on this list a few times. Well I've
gotten over a dozen chapters written and I've started a Kickstarter for the
project that I thought I'd share:

http://kck.st/1kX98BB

Authoring a book is a lot of fun and a lot of work. Thanks for all the help
you all have given me!

Mike

P.S. I may ask more questions later!

Hi Doug,

I'm not only going to blog about the progress, but also about the process
itself. There isn't enough information out there about how to write books
using Python tools.

Hi all,
I'm just about to put my first draft into some structure. 
It's in markdown-ish. 
I'd like to know more about the test scripts used. 

What are people using?

Do you insert code an output into doc during make?
Or extract code out of markdown somehow to run and test?
Are you inserting the output into the doc?
Or comparing the real output with the output listed in markdown doc?

I know, ... So many questions. 

Regards,
Brian Okken

My preference is to write in reST and use a custom directive that
includes both text and output.

My book is structured like a tutorial, so each code example in the book
builds on the last --  they don't stand alone.  the book also contains lots
of listings showing commands to run and expected output.

So my test suite works by reading the book as HTML (I prefer that, helps
catch any mistakes in my asciidoc syntax (ascidoc ~=rst)), parsing out all
code examples and command-line listings, and then pretending to be the
user, writing all the code examples to a folder in /tmp, and running all
the commands, checking the outputs are actually as expected.

it's quite challenging, especially as many of the code examples are partial
extracts from a file -- "just change these three lines".  that's easy for
humans to figure out, harder for a computer test suite.  In the end, I
decided to have a parallel series of commits in the test repo for some of
the book's more complicated code examples, one commit per code example in
the book, and then the test script can just check that all the lines in the
commit are in the book, and vice versa, and then use `patch` to apply it...

It is quite possible that I'm over-egging the pudding. test suite is
running at 6,000 lines of code currently. but, it's a book about testing,
so it felt appropriate that it should have good tests.  and, naturally,
there are tests for the tests (for the tests in the book about testing).

cheers!

I put the code in separate files from the reST and then use cog with sphinx to run the scripts and insert the output. That lets me commit the output to source control with the rest of the document, to catch changes between builds (I found a regression in a Python standard library module that way while working on PyMOTW).
