Random Function Generator from Tox Library

  • Share this:

Code introduction


This function randomly selects a function from the tox library and creates a new function to demonstrate its usage. For example, if the function tox.config.useenv is selected, the value of this function is returned.


Technology Stack : tox, tox-venv, tox-python, tox-travis, tox-pytest, tox-nosetests, tox-coverage

Code Type : Python Function

Code Difficulty : Intermediate
