Thanks for the tips! Didn’t know you could use it for tests too

This is really nice, but in case we have thousands of tests it’s not too useful to run tests on each change… What I don’t like or maybe I’m doing something wrong, but if I run my pytest where I set coverage report, from PyCharm test is run from place where test is and it creates a lot of .coverage, htmlcov dirs, etc. if I use terminal to run individual tests I don’t have these issues. 😊

Why you say dunder on a singder (single underscore)?
