We follow the Jupyter Contribution Workflow and the IPython Contributing Guide.
Use the pre-commit tool to format and lint the codebase:
# to apply to only staged files
$ pre-commit run
# to run against all files
$ pre-commit run --all-files
# to install so that it is run before commits
$ pre-commit install
In your environment pip install -e '.[test]'
will be needed to be able to
run all of the tests.
The recommended way to do this is using tox:
# to list all environments
$ tox -av
# to run all tests for a specific environment
$ tox -e py38
NbClient needs some PRs to copy over documentation!
If you are going to release a version of nbclient
you should also be capable
of testing it and building the docs.
Please follow the instructions in Testing and Documentation if you are unfamiliar with how to do so.
The rest of the release process can be found in these release instructions.
