Contributing to MongoEngine
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
MongoEngine has a large `community
|
|
<https://raw.github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine/master/AUTHORS>`_ and
|
|
contributions are always encouraged. Contributions can be as simple as
|
|
minor tweaks to the documentation. Please read these guidelines before
|
|
sending a pull request.
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes and New Features
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Before starting to write code, look for existing `tickets
|
|
<https://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine/issues?state=open>`_ or `create one
|
|
<https://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine/issues>`_ for your specific
|
|
issue or feature request. That way you avoid working on something
|
|
that might not be of interest or that has already been addressed. If in doubt
|
|
post to the `user group <http://groups.google.com/group/mongoengine-users>`
|
|
|
|
Supported Interpreters
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
MongoEngine supports CPython 2.6 and newer. Language
|
|
features not supported by all interpreters can not be used.
|
|
Please also ensure that your code is properly converted by
|
|
`2to3 <http://docs.python.org/library/2to3.html>`_ for Python 3 support.
|
|
|
|
Style Guide
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
MongoEngine aims to follow `PEP8 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`_
|
|
including 4 space indents and 79 character line limits.
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
All tests are run on `Travis <http://travis-ci.org/MongoEngine/mongoengine>`_
|
|
and any pull requests are automatically tested by Travis. Any pull requests
|
|
without tests will take longer to be integrated and might be refused.
|
|
|
|
General Guidelines
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
- Avoid backward breaking changes if at all possible.
|
|
- Write inline documentation for new classes and methods.
|
|
- Write tests and make sure they pass (make sure you have a mongod
|
|
running on the default port, then execute ``python setup.py test``
|
|
from the cmd line to run the test suite).
|
|
- Add yourself to AUTHORS :)
