Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of this package up and running in your local machine for development and test porpouses. Keep reading if you want to deploy and contribute to the project.

Prerequisites

First of all, make sure that you have installed:

• Python 3.5

• Python Package Index. Usually known as pip. To install it, open the terminal and type:

  easy_install pip

Installing

Let’s do a step-by-step installation:

• Fork the project to your account.

• Choose a path in your computer to store the project, go to it.

• Clone the fork that you have just done to this path using the terminal command:

  git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/pypiexplorer

• At this point, you should have an exact copy of the latest version of the project on your machine.

• Now you have to install the requirements of this package. It is really easy, open the terminal in the root of the project and type:

  pip install -r requirements.txt
  pip install -r test-requirements.txt

• To make sure that everything is working, run a test with:

  python3 setup.py test

Congratulations! Now you have a version of the project running in your machine. If you want to contribute and help to build this incredible tool, keep reading!

Using

After installation you will get a command-line tool named ppx. You can learn how to use it by issuing the following command:

ppx -h
usage: skeleton.py [-h] [--version] [-s NAME] [-l] [-r RELEASES] [-i INFO]
               [-p POPULARITY] [-v] [-vv]

  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -s NAME, --status NAME
                        Show Status for a given package.
  -l, --list            List installed packages

                        recent downloads
  -v, --verbose         set loglevel to INFO
  -vv, --very-verbose   set loglevel to DEBUG

for example, if you want to get the dependency tree of a package, you can:

ppx -t pypixplore
pypixplore
╠═ asciitree
╠═ pipdeptree
║  ╚═ pip

Contributing

To contribute to the project it is better to follow some steps.

• First of all, you should decide on what to contribute to. You can resolve an open issue or create a new one. Whichever the case, ask a repository manager to assign you to the new or existing issue.

• Now, implement the contribution on your version of the code, i.e. your fork.

• After that, build some tests on the tests folder. This is an important step: if you do not build a test to your contribution, it will not be accepted.

• Run those tests typing:

  python3 setup.py test/TEST_FILE.py

. Hint: Make sure that you are running with the last version of the main project. Just type git pull fccoelho master on terminal.

• Now, you have to write the docstring for your function or class. Follow this template.

• If you are pretty sure that everything is working, do a pull request. Someone is going to read and test. After the reviewer approval, your contribution will be accepted.
