Note on version numbers

ecco_v4_py uses the 'semantic versioning' scheme described here:

https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/#semantic-versioning-preferred

The essence of semantic versioning is a 3-part MAJOR.MINOR.MAINTENANCE numbering scheme:

MAJOR version when they make incompatible API changes,

MINOR version when they add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and

MAINTENANCE version when they make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

Note on testing with pytest

(credit to Tim Smith)

You can run the tests locally with the pytest package, which is available through conda-forge. With that installed, you can navigate to ECCOv4-py/ecco_v4_py/test and either:

Run all the tests exactly as they are on travis (this takes a while, like 12 minutes!):

py.test . -v --cov=ecco_v4_py --cov-config .coveragerc --ignore=ecco_v4_py/test/test_generate_ecco_netcdf_product.py

Or you can run any individual module e.g. to run the few tests in ecco_utils:

py.test test_ecco_utils.py

(and you can add any of the -v or whatever flags you want).
