pytest: assert almost equal

Question

How to do assert almost equal with py.test for floats without resorting to something like:

assert x - 0.00001 <= y <= x + 0.00001
<         


        

Answer 1

Something like

assert round(x-y, 5) == 0

That is what unittest does

For the second part

assert all(round(x-y, 5) == 0 for x,y in zip((1.32, 2.4), i_return_tuple_of_two_floats()))

Probably better to wrap that in a function

def tuples_of_floats_are_almost_equal(X, Y):
    return all(round(x-y, 5) == 0 for x,y in zip(X, Y))

assert tuples_of_floats_are_almost_equal((1.32, 2.4), i_return_tuple_of_two_floats())
