All contributions are welcome!

Get the repository

You can download the library by running the following command

git clone https://github.com/dccuchile/wefe

To contribute, simply create a pull request. Verify that your code is well documented, to implement unit tests and follows the PEP8 coding style.

Testing

All unit tests are located in the wefe/test folder and are based on the pytest framework. In order to run tests, you will first need to install pytest and pytest-cov:

pip install -U pytest
pip install pytest-cov

To run the tests, execute:

pytest wefe

To check the coverage, run:

py.test wefe --cov-report xml:cov.xml --cov wefe

And then:

coverage report -m

Build the documentation

The documentation is created using sphinx. It can be found in the doc folder at the project’s root folder. The documentation includes the API description and some tutorials. To compile the documentation, run the following commands:
