Lettuce is a behavior-driven development (BDD) testing framework for Python, inspired by Cucumber for Ruby. It lets teams write acceptance tests in plain Gherkin-style feature files and execute them as Python step definitions.

Use cases

• write acceptance tests in plain English with Gherkin feature files
• run BDD-style behavior tests for a Python project
• test Django applications with cucumber-style scenarios
• replace Ruby Cucumber with a pure-Python BDD tool
• collaborate with non-programmers on executable specifications
• organize large test suites as readable feature files

When to choose

• your team wants Cucumber-style BDD entirely in Python
• you need Gherkin feature files for stakeholder-readable acceptance tests
• you are testing Django apps and want BDD integration

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained tool - the latest release is from 2020
• you prefer modern BDD alternatives like pytest-bdd or behave
• you need unit testing rather than acceptance/behavior testing
