lettuce
Version 0.2.23 - kryptonite
On release names
Lettuce release names will be inspired by any green stuff.
Barium: In form of "barium nitrate" is commonly used to make green fireworks. Such a good name for a first version :)
What
Lettuce is a BDD tool for python, 100% inspired on cucumber.
Motivation
- Cucumber makes Ruby even more sexy. Python needed something like it.
- Testing must be funny and easy.
- Most python developers code in python, not ruby.
- Ruby has Capistrano, Python has Fabric. Ruby has cucumber, Python has lettuce.
- I personally don't like mixing many languages in small projects. Keeping all in python is better.
- I love python, and ever did. But I also ever missed something that make writing tests easier and funnier.
- I like nose, which is a unittest pythonic framework. However, as the project I work on grows, so do the tests, and it becomes harder to understand them.

Dependencies
you will need to install these dependencies in order to hack lettuce :) all them are used within lettuce tests
you could use a virtualenv:
> mkvirtualenv lettuce
> workon lettuce
> pip install -r requirements.txt
note this uses virtualenvwrapper to save some virtualenv handling hassle. you can also use virtualenv the regular way.
or just install manually:
> sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
or do it really from scratch:
- nose
[sudo] pip install nose
- mox
[sudo] pip install mox
- sphinx
[sudo] pip install sphinx
- lxml
[sudo] pip install lxml
- tornado
[sudo] pip install tornado
- django
[sudo] pip install django
