This pytest plugin allows for the doctesting of C extension modules for Python, specifically created through cython.
You can install "pytest-cython" via pip from PyPI:
pip install pytest-cython
Basic usage:
pytest --doctest-cython
You can also run the doctests for a single .pyx file as such:
pytest --doctest-cython path/to/module.pyx
It is assumed that the C extension modules have been build in place before running py.test and there is a
matching Cython .pyx file
