How to develop for python-openzwave¶
Fork the project on Github.
Get the sources :
git clone https://github.com/yourname/python-openzwave
You can install all the dependances to develop for python-openzwave using the command :
sudo make developer-deps
You must now install python-openzwave in develop mode. Depending on which python version you prefer, use :
make venv2-dev
or
make venv2-dev
Keep in mind that your updates must be python 2 / python 3 compatible.
Develop, test, debug, test, … :)
Update the documentation if needed. You surely found the documentation useful, so please keep it up to date.
It a good idea to add automatic tests.
Launch the full test suite (for python 2 and python 3) :
make venv-tests
At last but not least, submit your request with the result of tests in the comment.
If you don’t follow the previous steps, your PR will be refused or letting in pending state until I’ve got time to test it.
Documentation¶
First, install the dependances :
sudo make doc-deps
Documentation is managed with sphinx.
Don’t update txt and rst files (README, INSTALL, …) in the root directory, update the RST sources in docs.
