Usage with GitLab CI

Create a .gitlab-ci.yml configuration for your project that uses the python-testing image:

stages:
  - test

test:
  image: sciapp/python-testing:latest
  stage: test
  script:
    - tox

sciapp/python-testing:latest is an alias for the Alpine image.

In order for this configuration to work, you need a Tox configuration file (tox.ini).
