You can contribute in many ways:

Types of Contributions

Report Bugs

Report bugs at https://github.com/stijnvanhoey/hydropy/issues.

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 & Implement Features

There are lots of little coding improvements that have been suggested on our issues page. Look through our list for bugs or features that you think you can help with, and leave a comment if you think you have a solution. Even if you just make a suggestion, we are thankful for any help that we get!

Write Documentation

Hydropy could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official Hydropy 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://github.com/stijnvanhoey/hydropy/issues.

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 hydropy for local development.

  1. Fork the hydropy repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/hydropy.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 hydropy
$ cd hydropy/
$ python setup.py develop

  4. Create a branch for local development:

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

    Now you can make your changes locally.

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

    $ flake8 hydropy tests
$ python setup.py test

or $ python -m unittest -v or $ py.test or $ nose2

then:

$ tox

To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.:

$ pip install flake8
$ pip install tox

  1. 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

  2. Submit a pull request through the GitHub 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 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/stijnvanhoey/hydropy/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_filename
