How to contribute to Click

Thanks for considering contributing to Click.

Support questions

Please, don't use the issue tracker for this. Check whether the Pocoo IRC channel can help with your issue. If your problem is not strictly Click-specific, #python on Freenode is generally more active. StackOverflow is also worth considering.

Reporting issues

  • Under which versions of Python does this happen? This is even more important if your issue is encoding related.
  • Under which versions of Click does this happen? Check if this issue is fixed in the repository.

Submitting patches

  • Include tests if your patch is supposed to solve a bug, and explain clearly under which circumstances the bug happens. Make sure the test fails without your patch.
  • Try to follow PEP8, but you may ignore the line-length-limit if following it would make the code uglier.
  • For features: Consider whether your feature would be a better fit for an external package

Running the testsuite

You probably want to set up a virtualenv.

The minimal requirement for running the testsuite is py.test. You can install it with:

pip install pytest

Then you can run the testsuite with:

py.test

For a more isolated test environment, you can also install tox instead of pytest. You can install it with:

pip install tox

The tox command will then run all tests against multiple combinations of Python versions and dependency versions.
