If you need to test for different versions and platforms then tox is the way to go, otherwise just test using the same environment as your production.
For continuous integration, we use circleci.com which is very simple to use, otherwise Jenkins is a good option. SQLalchemy is probably the best choice for an ORM in Python. JSON support is built-in https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html Hope this helps, Diarmuid On 17 November 2014 11:44, Kingsley Kelly <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Diarmuid, we're probably going with flask as it's a more service > orientated with some dashboards. > Any thoughts on specifics for testing?
