How can I exclude files from Python coverage reports?

How can I exclude certain files from my Python coverage reports?

You can exclude files from Python coverage reports by using the --omit option in the coverage command.

Can you give me an example of how to use the --omit option?

Sure! You can run coverage run --omit='*/tests/*' -m unittest discover to exclude all files in the tests directory.

What if I want to exclude multiple files?

You can specify multiple patterns separated by commas, like this: --omit='*/tests/*,*/migrations/*'.

Is there a way to set this in a configuration file?

Yes, you can set exclusions in a .coveragerc file under the [run] section using the omit option.
