It is hardly just "someone's personal repo". coveragepy has 1k github stars and is used by nearly every Python project under the sun.


Ive been a Python (among other languages) dev for about 25 years and I've never heard about this project until just now.


coverage.py is quite popular - it was the 55th most downloaded python package last year. For reference, virtualenv was 57th.

That in no way means that Ned’s work hasn’t impacted yours or that you haven’t used his work without being aware of the dependency. Just say’n is all.


Do you write unit tests? Do you care about coverage of your tests? Serious question.


Time to climb out of your hole, Mr. Hermit!

Seriously though, we can't know every single third-party package under the sun. But this one is more important than the average.


We all have blind spots.
