How to run the test cases?

[boonware]

How does one run the tests for this project? I have followed these guidelines, however, I cannot run the tests successfully. Running the following command in the project root directory:

tox -epy310 -- -n test.python.compiler.test_transpiler.TestTranspile

I receive the following error output. Note that the test run also appears to be installing dependencies every time I attempt to run a test.
