Changes are accepted through pull requests.
Please create your feature branch from the master branch. Make sure to add unit tests under the tests/ subdirectory (we use py.test and flexmock for this). When you push new commits, tests will be triggered to be run in Travis CI and results will be shown in your pull request. You can also run them locally from the top directory (py.test tests).
Follow the PEP8 coding style. This project allows 99 characters per line.
Please make sure each commit is for a complete logical change, and has a useful commit message. When making changes in response to suggestions, it is fine to make new commits for them but please make sure to squash them into the relevant "logical change" commit before the pull request is merged.
Before a pull request is approved it must meet these criteria:
- unit tests pass
- code coverage from testing does not decrease and new code is covered
Once it is approved by two developer team members it may be merged. To avoid creating merge commits the pull request will be rebased during the merge.
