When I answer your +question there and the answer warrants an extension to the documentation or +code, I will include it in a documnetation update and/or future (normally the +next) release of ``ruamel.yaml``. + +Please don't post support questions as an issue on sourceforge. + +Documentation +============= + +The documentation for ``ruamel.yaml`` is in YAML, more specifically in `ryd +<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ryd>`_ ( /rɑɪt/, pronounced like the verb “write” +). This is reStructuredText mixed with Python, each in separate YAML documents +within a single file. If you know a bit of YAML, Python and reStructuredText it +will be clear how that works. + +If you want to contribute to the documentation, you can sent me a clear +description of the needed changes, e.g. as a unified diff. If the changes +encompass multiple documents in a ``.ryd`` file, it is best to install ``ryd`` +(use a virtualenv!), clone the ``ruamel.yaml`` repository on sourceforge, edit +documentation, run ``ryd``:: + + ryd --pdf '**/*.ryd' + +(quoting might not be necessary depending on your shell), and once the PDF(s) +look acceptable, submit a pull-request. + +``ryd`` will check your file for single backquotes (my most common mistake going +back and forth between reStructuredText and other mark up). + +If you contribute example programs, note that ``ryd`` will automatically run you +program (so it should be correct) and can include the output of the program in +the resulting ``.rst`` (and PDF) file. + +Code +==== + +Code changes are welcome as well, but anything beyond a minor change should be +tested (``tox``/``pytest``), checked for typing conformance (``mypy``) and pass +pep8 conformance (``flake8``). + +In my experience it is best to use two ``virtualenv`` environments, one with the +latest Python from the 2.7 series, the other with 3.5 or 3.6. In the +site-packages directory of each virtualenv make a soft link to the ruamel +directory of your (cloned and checked out) copy of the repository. Do not under +any circumstances run ``pip install -e .`` it will +not work (at least not until these commands are fixed to support packages with +namespaces). + +You can install ``tox``, ``pytest``, ``mypy`` and ``flake8`` in the Python3 +``virtualenv``, or in a ``virtualenv`` of their own. If all of these commands +pass without warning/error, you can create your pull-request. + +Flake ++++++ + +My ``~/.config/flake8`` file:: + + [flake8] + show-source = True + max-line-length = 95 + ignore = F405 + +The suppress of F405 is necessary to allow ``from xxx import *``, which I have +not removed in all places (yet). + +First make sure your checked out source passes ``flake8`` without test (it should). +Then make your changes pass without any warnings/errors. + +Tox/pytest +++++++++++ + +Whether you add something or fix some bug with your code changes, first add one +or more tests that fail in the unmodified source when running ``tox``. Once that +is in place add your code, which should have as a result that your added test(s) +no longer fail, and neither should any other existing tests. + +Typing/mypy ++++++++++++ + +If you add methods or functions to ``ruamel.yaml``, you will need to add Python +2.7 compatible typing information in order for ``mypy`` to pass without error. + +I run ``mypy`` from the directory where the (link to) ruamel directory is +using:: + + mypy --py2 --strict --follow-imports silent ruamel/yaml/*.py + +This should give no errors or warnings + + +Generated files +=============== + +I use a minimal environment when developing, void of most artifacts needed for +packaging, testing etc. These artifact files are *generated*, just before committing to +sourceforge and pushing to PyPI, with nuances coming from the ``_package_data`` +information in ``__init__.py``. Including changes in these files will +automatically be reverted, even assuming your PR is accepted as is. + +Consider the following files **read-only** (if you think changes need to made these, +contact me):: + + tox.ini + LICENSE + _ryd/conf.py + -ryd/Makefile + + +Vulnerabilities +=============== + +If you find a vulnerability in ``ruamel.yaml`` (e.g. that would show the ``safe`` +and ``rt`` loader are not safe due to a bug in the software)), please contact me +directly via email, or by leaving a comment on StackOverflow (below any of my +posts), without going into the details of the vulnerability. After contact is +estabilished I will work to eliminate the vulnerability in a timely fashion. +After the vulnerability is removed, and affected parties notified to allow them +to update versions, the vulnerability will be published, and your role in +finding/resolving this properly attributed. |
