Class	`NoseTester`	Nose test runner.
Function	`_numpy_tester`	Undocumented

Undocumented

def get_package_name(filepath):

Given a path where a package is installed, determine its name.

Parameters

filepath : str: Path to a file. If the determination fails, "numpy" is returned.

>>> np.testing.nosetester.get_package_name('nonsense')
'numpy'

def import_nose():

Import nose only when needed.

def run_module_suite(file_to_run=None, argv=None):

Run a test module.

Equivalent to calling $ nosetests <argv> <file_to_run> from the command line

file_to_run : str, optional: Path to test module, or None. By default, run the module from which this function is called.
argv : list of strings: Arguments to be passed to the nose test runner. argv[0] is ignored. All command line arguments accepted by nosetests will work. If it is the default value None, sys.argv is used.

New in version 1.9.0.

Adding the following:

if __name__ == "__main__" :
    run_module_suite(argv=sys.argv)

at the end of a test module will run the tests when that module is called in the python interpreter.

Alternatively, calling:

>>> run_module_suite(file_to_run="numpy/tests/test_matlib.py")  # doctest: +SKIP

from an interpreter will run all the test routine in 'test_matlib.py'.
