If you are reporting a bug, please include:

Your operating system name and version.
Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.

Fix Bugs¶

Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with “bug” and “help wanted” is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Implement Features¶

Look through the GitHub issues for features.

Write Documentation¶

ncollpyde could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official ncollpyde docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback¶

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/clbarnes/ncollpyde/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

Explain in detail how it would work.
Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Get Started!¶

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up ncollpyde for local development.

Fork the ncollpyde repo on GitHub.

Clone your fork locally:

$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/ncollpyde.git

Create a virtualenv, install the dependencies, and build the project. You will also need a rust toolchain:

$ cd ncollpyde/
$ python -m venv --prompt ncollpyde env
$ pip install -r requirements.txt -r docs/requirements.txt
$ maturin develop

Create a branch for local development:
```
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you’re done making changes, format your changes, then lint and test them (you may need to run maturin develop again to rebuild the rust components):
```
$ make fmt
$ make lint
$ make test
```

Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

$ git add .
$ git commit
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines¶

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

The pull request should include tests.
If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
The pull request should work for CPython versions supported by recent numpy releases

Tips¶

To run a subset of tests:

$ pytest tests.test_ncollpyde

Deploying¶

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed and passing CI. Then run:

$ cargo release minor  # or whatever version bump
