Open source is built by maintainers. Testing is built on trust.
In the latest Push to Talk | Meet the Maintainers, we sit down with Ned Batchelder (@nedbat), creator and long-time maintainer of coverage.py, to talk about the story behind one of Python’s best-known testing tools.
In this episode:
➡️ How coverage.py started, and what kept it going

➡️ Why “94% measured” is a choice, not an accident
