Notes¶
- The
say
name was inspired by Perl’s say, but the similarity stops there. - Automated multi-version testing managed with the wonderful pytest, pytest-cov, coverage, and tox. Packaging linting with pyroma.
- Successfully packaged for, and tested against, all late-model versions of Python: 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 as well as late models of PyPy and PyPy3.
say
has greater ambitions than just simple template printing. It’s part of a larger rethinking of how output should be formatted.say.Text
, show, and quoter are other down-payments on this larger vision. Stay tuned.- In addition to being a practical module in its own right,
say
is testbed for options, a package that provides high-flexibility option, configuration, and parameter management. - The author, Jonathan Eunice or

say
in your own work, drop me a note and tell me how you’re using it, how you like it, and what you’d like to see!
To-Dos¶
- Further formatting techniques for easily generating HTML output and formatting non-scalar values.
- Complete the transition to per-method styling and more refined named styles.
- Provide code that allows
pylint
to see that variables used inside thesay
andfmt
format strings are indeed thereby used.
