This is the complete test suite for your Roman numeral conversion functions, which are yet to be written but will eventually be in roman.py. It is not immediately obvious how it all fits together; none of these classes or methods reference any of the others. There are good reasons for this, as you'll see shortly.
Example 13.1. romantest.py
If you have not already done so, you can download this and other examples used in this book.
