This will run unit tests against python 3.4 and 3.5 (if both are available locally), as well as run a set of tests which validate `pep8` and `pylint` style of the code.
You can optionally run tests on only one tox target using the `-e` option to select an environment.

For instance `tox -e lint` will run the linters only, `tox -e py34` will run unit tests only on python 3.4.

Tox uses virtual environments under the hood to create isolated testing environments. The Tox virtual environments will get out date when requirements change causing test errors. Run `tox -r` to create new Tox virtual environments.
During development on a specific file, it can speed up your workflow to just run tests and linting related to the file that you're working on. To run individual files:
```bash
$ flake8 homeassistant/core.py
$ pylint homeassistant/core.py
$ py.test tests/test_core.py
```
