  • 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 mkmsdk for local development.

Fork the mkmsdk repo on GitHub and clone your fork locally:

git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/mkmsdk.git

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

$ mkvirtualenv mkmsdk
$ cd mkmsdk/
$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

Create a branch for local development so that you make your changes locally:

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

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

$ tox

To get tox, just pip install it into your virtualenv.

Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

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

Submit a pull request through the GitHub website and wait for it to be accepted!

Code formatting

Every contribution must be formatted with the black code formatter. This arguments must be used --line-length 120 --py36 --skip-numeric-underscore-normalization.

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 every Python version currently supported.
