See the `LICENSE <LICENSE>`_ file.


Developing
==========

Development environment
-----------------------

Use `tox`_ to `prepare virtual environments for development`_.

.. _prepare virtual environments for development: http://testrun.org/tox/latest/example/devenv.html

.. _tox: http://tox.testrun.org

To set up a **Python 2.7** environment in ``.devenv27``, run::

$ tox -e devenv27

To set up a **Python 3.4** environment in ``.devenv34``, run::

$ tox -e devenv34

Packaging
---------

This package uses `setuptools`_.

.. _setuptools: http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools

Run ::

$ python setup.py sdist

or ::

$ python setup.py bdist

or ::

$ python setup.py bdist_wheel

to build a source, binary or wheel distribution.


Complete Git Integration
------------------------

Setuptool uses the information of tags to infer the version of your project
with the help of `versioneer <https://github.com/warner/python-versioneer>`_.

To use this feature you need to tag with the format ``MAJOR.MINOR[.REVISION]``
, e.g. ``v0.0.1`` or ``v0.1``.
The prefix ``v`` is needed!

Run ::

$ python setup.py version

to retrieve the current `PEP440`_-compliant version.
This version will be used when building a package and is also accessible
through ``devs.__version__``.
The version will be ``unknown`` until you have added a first tag.

.. _PEP440: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440

Pre-commit hooks
................

Unleash the power of Git by using its `pre-commit hooks
<http://pre-commit.com/>`_.

Run ::

$ pre-commit install

to install the pre-commit hooks.

Sphinx Documentation
--------------------

Build the documentation with ::

$ python setup.py docs

and run doctests with ::

$ python setup.py doctest

Alternatively, let `tox`_
`configure the virtual environment and run sphinx <http://tox.readthedocs.org/en/latest/example/general.html#integrating-sphinx-documentation-checks>`_::

$ tox -e docs

Add further options separated from tox options by a double dash ``--``::

$ tox -e docs -- --help


Read the Docs
.............

`Read the Docs`_ hosts the project at
https://readthedocs.org/projects/pydevs.

.. _Read the Docs: http://readthedocs.org/

Add `requirements`_ for building the documentation to the
`requirements-doc.txt <requirements-doc.txt>`_ file.

.. _requirements: http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/user_guide.html#requirements-files

Continuous documentation building
---------------------------------

For continuously building the documentation during development, run::

$ python setup.py autodocs

Unittest & Coverage
-------------------

Run ::

$ python setup.py test

to run all unittests defined in the subfolder ``tests`` with the help of `tox`_
and `py.test`_.

.. _py.test: http://pytest.org

The py.test plugin `pytest-cov`_ is used to automatically generate a coverage
report.

.. _pytest-cov: http://github.com/schlamar/pytest-cov

Continuous testing
------------------

For continuous testing in a **Python 2.7** environment, run::

$ python setup.py test --tox-args='-c toxdev.ini -e py27'

For continuous testing in a **Python 3.4** environment, run::

$ python setup.py test --tox-args='-c toxdev.ini -e py34'


Requirements Management
-----------------------

Add `requirements`_ to the `requirements.txt <requirements.txt>`_ file which
will be automatically used by ``setup.py``.

Add development `requirements`_ to the `requirements-dev.txt <requirements-dev.txt>`_ file.
