# Define repeatable Python automation sessions in code with nox

Encode test, lint, build, and docs routines as named Python sessions so humans and agents run the same workflow every time.

## Prerequisites

Python environment, nox, and a repository with a versioned noxfile defining the intended automation sessions

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- pipx install nox

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- [![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/nox.svg?logo=python)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nox)
- *Flexible test automation with Python*
- nox is a command-line tool that automates testing in multiple Python environments, similar to [tox][]. Unlike tox, Nox uses a standard Python file for configuration:

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- session.run("pytest")
- session.run("flake8", "--import-order-style", "google")
- To install Nox with [pipx][]:

- Source: https://github.com/wntrblm/nox
- Extracted from upstream docs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wntrblm/nox/HEAD/README.md
