SYNOPSIS
tox [options] [args ...]
DESCRIPTION
tox is a generic virtualenv management and test command line tool you can use for:
checking your package installs correctly with different Python versions and interpreters
running your tests in each of the environments, configuring your test tool of choice
acting as a frontend to Continuous Integration servers, greatly reducing boilerplate and merging CI and shell-based testing.
OPTIONS
positional arguments:
- args
-
additional arguments available to command positional substitution (default: None)
optional arguments:

- -q
-
progressively silence reporting output. (default: 0)
- --showconfig
-
show configuration information for all environments. (default: False)
- -l, --listenvs

-
config file name or directory with 'tox.ini' file. (default: None)
- -e envlist
-

- --parallel--safe-build
-
(deprecated) ensure two tox builds can run in parallel (uses a lock file in the tox workdir with .lock extension) (default: False)

use specified package for installation into venv, instead of creating an sdist. (default: None)
- --develop
-
install package in the venv using 'setup.py develop' via 'pip -e .' (default: False)
- -i URL, --index-url URL
-
set indexserver url (if URL is of form name=url set the url for the 'name' indexserver, specifically) (default: None)

- --result-json PATH
-

-
set PYTHONHASHSEED to SEED before running commands. Defaults to a random integer in the range [1, 4294967295] ([1, 1024] on Windows). Passing 'noset' suppresses this behavior. (default: None)
