Version Support

behave-django is tested against the officially supported combinations of Python and Django (Django 2.2, 3.0 on Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8).

The version of behave is not tied to our integration (read: “independent”). We test against the latest release on PyPI, and run a sample against Behave’s current master branch.
