Development setup
=================

Running nose tests with IPython is tricky, so there's a
run_tests.sh script for it.

    pip install -e .
    ./run_tests.sh

To temporarily insert breakpoints for debugging: `from nose.tools import set_trace; set_trace()`.  
Or, if running tests, use `pytest.set_trace()`.

Tests have requirements not installed by setup.py:

- nose
- pandas

Release HOWTO
=============

To make a release,

  1) Update release date/version in NEWS.txt and setup.py
  2) Run 'python setup.py sdist'
  3) Test the generated source distribution in dist/
  4) Upload to PyPI: 'python setup.py sdist register upload'
  5) Increase version in setup.py (for next release)
