Testing/development tips
------------------------

After `git clone` or `wget && tar`, we will get a directory called `cffi` or `cffi-x.x.x`. we call it `repo-directory`. To run tests under CPython, run the following in the `repo-directory`:

    pip install pytest
    pip install -e .  # editable install of CFFI for local development
    pytest src/c/ testing/
