What are the configuration options for Python coverage RC?

Python coverage RC (report configuration) allows you to customize how coverage reports are generated. Key options include specifying the source files to include, setting the report format, and adjusting the reporting thresholds.

Can you give me an example of a configuration file?

Sure! A simple .coveragerc file might look like this:

[run]
branch = True
source = my_project

[report]
omit = tests/*
show_missing = True

What does the 'omit' option do in the report section?

The 'omit' option in the report section specifies which files or directories should be excluded from the coverage report. This is useful for ignoring test files or third-party libraries.

Are there any other important options I should know about?

Yes, other important options include 'fail_under' to set a minimum coverage percentage and 'include' to specify files to include in the report.
