Supported Python versions

We support python versions until end-of-life.

Development

First, create a virtual environment and activate it:

make venv
source venv/bin/activate

You may setup pre-commit to run before you commit changes, this removes the need to run it manually afterwards:

pre-commit install

You can then run different tasks defined in the Makefile, below are the most important ones:

Build the documentation and open it in your browser:

make docs

Lint the code:

make lint

Run tests using the current python3 version:

make test

You may also run the tests for multiple python3 versions using tox:

tox .

Deprecations implementation

When deprecating a module or a function, you must:

• Update the docstring with a deprecated notice:

"""Get image by name

.. deprecated:: 1.19
    Use :func:`hcloud.images.client.ImagesClient.get_by_name_and_architecture` instead.
"""

• Raise a warning when the deprecated module or function is being used:

warnings.warn(
    "The 'hcloud.images.client.ImagesClient.get_by_name' method is deprecated, please use the "
    "'hcloud.images.client.ImagesClient.get_by_name_and_architecture' method instead.",
    DeprecationWarning,
    stacklevel=2,
)
