Contributing

Before making any changes, make sure to install the development requirements and setup the git hooks which will automatically lint and format your changes.

pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
pre-commit install

We require 100% code coverage in our unit tests. You can run the tests locally with tox which insures that all tests pass, tests provide complete code coverage, documentation builds, and style guide are adhered to

tox

A subset of checks can also be ran by adding an argument to tox. The available arguments are:

• py36, py37, py38, py39, pypy3
  • Run unit tests on the given python version
• coverage
  • Run a code coverage check
• docs
  • Insure documentation builds and there are no broken links
• style
  • Insure style guide is adhered to

tox -e py38

We also require features to be well documented. You can generate a local copy of the documentation by going to the docs directory and running:

make clean && make html && open _build/html/index.html
