Types of Contributions

Report Bugs

Report bugs at https://bitbucket.org/timcera/tsgettoolbox

If you are reporting a bug, please include:

  • Your operating system name and version.
  • Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.
  • Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.

Fix Bugs

Look through the bitbucket issues for bugs. Anything tagged with "bug" is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Implement Features

Look through the bitbucket issues for features. Anything tagged with "feature" is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation

TSgettoolbox could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official TSgettoolbox docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://bitbucket.org/timcera/tsgettoolbox

If you are proposing a feature:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.
  • Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
  • Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up tsgettoolbox for local development.

  1. Fork the tsgettoolbox repo on bitbucket.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone [email protected]:your_github_login/tsgettoolbox.git

  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv tsgettoolbox
$ cd tsgettoolbox/
$ python setup.py develop

  4. For testing you also need to install tox, coverage, and flake8:

    $ pip install tox
$ pip install coverage
$ pip install flake8

  5. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Now you can make your changes locally.

6. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

$ tox

Bring the htmlcov/index.html file up into a browser to make sure that the code has appropriate test coverage.

  1. Commit your changes and push your branch to bitbucket:

    $ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  2. Submit a pull request through the bitbucket website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.7, and 3.3.
