I've recently started using Make for my Python project as a convenient way of running arbitrary code checks. I like having targets like the following: test - runs pytest with whatever config flags are needed coverage - run test and then check for minimum code coverage run - run the application with sane defaults mypy - does type checking (mypy) lint - run flake8 And I usually have `make all` setup to run everything (static analysis before tests, then code coverage checks). In another project, I built out some testing infrastructure for a Rust project (setting up a testing database and tearing it down at the end). I sometimes feel like I "should" use a dedicated tool for this, but Make is ubiquitous and easy enough to use for simple use cases like this.
