API reference

This section contains the API reference and usage information for PyCTest.

PyCTest Modules:

• pyctest.pyctest
• pyctest.pycmake
• pyctest.helpers
• pyctest.cmake
• pyctest.ctest
• pyctest.cpack

PyCTest is an extension that directly hooks into the CMake/CTest libraries. Instead of generating CMake/CTest files, it use the library itself. Since the CMake version is directly controlled as a git submodule, there are no external compatibility issues.
