coverage.py: exclude files

python testing software-quality code-coverage coverage.py

You can omit modules with the --omit flag. It takes a comma-separated list of path prefixes. So for example:

coverage run my_program.pycoverage report --omit=path/to/3rdparty

python testing software-quality code-coverage coverage.py

Omitting some files worked for me using coverage API.Well it is the same kind what Ned suggested.

Here it is how I did it:

cov = coverage.coverage(omit='/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/*')

python testing software-quality code-coverage coverage.py

In addition to the options in the other answers, you can also configure the ignored files via setup.cfg:

[coverage:run]omit =    some/directory/*    debug_*.py

See the documentation for details.
