The issue tracker

If you find a bug or see a problem with PyCIRCLean, please open an issue in the Github repo. We'll do our best to respond as quickly as possible. Also, feel free to contribute a solution to any of the open issues - we'll do our best to review your pull request in a timely manner. This project is in active development, so any contributions are welcome!

Setting up a dev environment

  • PyCIRCLean requires a working Python 3.3+ install. Before beginning install, it is recommended to set up a virtualenv to contain Python dependencies. If you don't have experience managing Python virtualenvs, pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv are great tools. If you're running MacOS or Windows and would like to contribute to filecheck.py, you will need access to a VM using either a cloud service or something like Virtualbox.

  • First, you'll want to get a local copy of PyCIRCLean. If you'd like to make a pull request with your changes at some point, you should fork the project on github, and then git clone your fork.

  • To install the project's dependencies, you can run python setup.py install. Alternatively, you can use pip install dev-requirements.txt to ensure you download any testing dependencies as well. We recommend that you use a virtualenv when installing dependencies. Note: python-magic has a non-Python dependency, libmagic. It is typically included in Linux distributions, but you might have to install it with homebrew (brew install libmagic) on MacOS.

  • To install the dependencies for filecheck.py on Linux, you can run make install or view the Makefile and install the dependencies manually. Note that pip install lxml can only be run after apt-get libxml2-dev.

Running the tests

  • First, make sure you've installed the project and testing dependencies.
  • Then, run python -m pytest or just pytest in the top level directory of the module.
  • If you'd like to get information about code coverage, run the tests using pytest --cov=kittengroomer.
  • You can test with multiple versions of Python if you have them installed by running pip install tox and then tox. Make sure you modify "envlist" in tox.ini for the Python versions you plan to use.
