## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, developer-tools
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: bdd, cucumber-inspired, gherkin, acceptance-testing, django-integration, automation
