1. Because the sample project is intended to explain how to *package* a project, not how to test it, or document it, or any of a number of other non-packaging things. 2. Because tox is not universally agreed as best practice, and the sample project is intended to demonstrate agreed best practice. > I search a simple guideline for new comers to set up > a python project including testing. The sample project is not intended for that purpose. It's a good starting point for something like that, but that's not its purpose. Paul PS I sympathise with your wish for a "do this to set up your first project" beginner's guide. I've wanted one of those myself for a long time now. But I don't believe such a thing exists, unfortunately. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
