NOTE: this library is in maintenance mode and should not be used in new code.
The py lib is a Python development support library featuring the following tools and modules:
py.path
: uniform local and svn path objects -> please use pathlib/pathlib2 insteadpy.apipkg
: explicit API control and lazy-importing -> please use the standalone package insteadpy.iniconfig
: easy parsing of .ini files -> please use the standalone package insteadpy.code
: dynamic code generation and introspection (deprecated, moved to pytest
as a implementation detail).NOTE: prior to the 1.4 release this distribution used to contain py.test which is now its own package, see https://docs.pytest.org
