Hypothesis is, of course, a library for writing tests.

But from an implementation point of view this is hardly noticeable. Really it’s a library for constructing and exploring data and using it to prove or disprove hypotheses about it. It then has a small testing library built on top of it.

In this article we’ll go through an example of doing this, by using it to take a brief look at one of my other favourite subjects: Voting systems.
