Welcome to Nox¶

nox is a command-line tool that automates testing in multiple Python environments, similar to tox. Unlike tox, Nox uses a standard Python file for configuration.

Install nox via pip:

pip install -- user -- upgrade nox

Nox is configured via a noxfile.py file in your project’s directory. Here’s a simple noxfile that runs lint and some tests:

import nox @nox . session def tests ( session ): session . install ( 'pytest' ) session . run ( 'pytest' ) @nox . session def lint ( session ): session . install ( 'flake8' ) session . run ( 'flake8' , '--import-order-style' , 'google' )

To run both of these sessions, just run:

nox

For each session, Nox will automatically create virtualenv with the appropriate interpreter, install the specified dependencies, and run the commands in order.

To learn how to install and use Nox, see the Tutorial. For documentation on configuring sessions, see Configuration & API. For documentation on running nox , see Command-line usage.
