Developer installation

OMERO.py currently depends on an externally built artifact which is automatically bundled in the PyPI package.

For a development installation we recommend creating a virtualenv with the following setup (example assumes python3.6 but you can create and activate the virtualenv using any compatible Python):

python3.6 -mvenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install zeroc-ice==3.6.5
git clone https://github.com/ome/omero-py
cd omero-py
python setup.py devtarget
pip install -e .

This will install OMERO.py into your virtualenv as an editable package, so any edits to src files should be reflected in your installation. Note that if you add or remove files you must rerun the last two steps.

Running tests

Unit tests are located under the test directory and can be run with pytest.

Integration tests

Integration tests are stored in the main repository (ome/openmicroscopy) and depend on the OMERO integration testing framework. Reading about Running and writing tests in the OMERO documentation is essential.
