About

HitchDev contains a group of production-ready python libraries with a focus on testing and documentation, built by me, Colm O'Connor.

StrictYAML

• Type-safe YAML parser and validator that parses a restricted subset of the YAML spec. I created this to fix, among other issues, the Norway Problem (hacker news discussion).

HitchStory: Testing and Documentation

Type-safe StrictYAML integration tests run from pytest. They can:

Rewrite themselves from program output (command line app)

Autogenerate documentation for you (website)

Example project

• Project exemplifying some E2E test best practices on an example Django project.

Other libraries

• HitchRunPy - invoke and run snippets of python code.
• HitchPage - use playwright with the page config model (alpha).
• HitchDB - set up type-safe StrictYAML database fixtures (alpha, postgres only for now).

Miscellaneous libraries and tools

• Commandlib - invoke UNIX commands with an easy to use, pythonic API.
• ICommandlib - run interactive command line apps in a virtual terminal.
• OrJi -- Template OrgMode files with Jinja2.
