Continuous testing helper, adapted from [1], but which makes no assumption about what tests you might want to run continuously while developing. For more information, see this blog post.
Any command supplied to the script will be run once and then
repeated any time a file in the current working directory changes,
except for files excluded using .conttest-excludes as described below.

Note that ANY command you supply the script will be run, so be careful. You have been warned!

./setup.py install # from source
or
pip install conttest # use sudo if installing globally
conttest nosetests
conttest 'nosetests -q && pep8 -r .'
Placing a file .conttest-excludes in the current working directory
will exclude subdirectories, e.g.:
.svn$
.git
build
vendor/elastic*
install
will match files against the listed regular expressions and skip checking for changes in those directories. This can save quite a bit of time and CPU during normal operation.
