psutil development guide
========================
Build, setup and running tests
..............................
psutil makes extensive use of C extension modules, meaning a C compiler is
required, see
`install instructions <https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/blob/master/INSTALL.rst>`__.
Once you have a compiler installed:
.. code-block:: bash
git clone git@github.com:giampaolo/psutil.git
make setup-dev-env # install useful dev libs (flake8, coverage, ...)
make build
make install
make test
- ``make`` (see `Makefile`_) is the designated tool to run tests, build, install
try new features you're developing, etc. This also includes Windows (see
`make.bat`_ ).
Some useful commands are:
.. code-block:: bash
make test-parallel # faster
make test-memleaks
make test-coverage
make lint # Python (PEP8) and C linters
make uninstall
make help
- if you're working on a new feature and you whish to compile & test it "on the
fly" from a test script, this is a quick & dirty way to do it:
.. code-block:: bash
make test TSCRIPT=test_script.py # on UNIX
make test test_script.py # on Windows
- do not use ``sudo``. ``make install`` installs psutil as a limited user in
"edit" mode, meaning you can edit psutil code on the fly while you develop.
- if you want to target a specific Python version:
.. code-block:: bash
make test PYTHON=python3.5 # UNIX
make test -p C:\python35\python.exe # Windows
Coding style
------------
- python code strictly follows `PEP-8`_ styling guides and this is enforced by
a commit GIT hook installed via ``make install-git-hooks`` which will reject
commits if code is not PEP-8 complieant.
- C code should follow `PEP-7`_ styling guides.
Code organization
-----------------
.. code-block:: bash
psutil/__init__.py # main psutil namespace ("import psutil")
psutil/_ps{platform}.py # platform-specific python wrapper
psutil/_psutil_{platform}.c # platform-specific C extension
psutil/tests/test_process|system.py # main test suite
psutil/tests/test_{platform}.py # platform-specific test suite
Adding a new API
----------------
Typically, this is what you do:
- define the new API in `psutil/__init__.py`_.
- write the platform specific implementation in ``psutil/_ps{platform}.py``
(e.g. `psutil/_pslinux.py`_).
- if the change requires C code, write the C implementation in
``psutil/_psutil_{platform}.c`` (e.g. `psutil/_psutil_linux.c`_).
- write a generic test in `psutil/tests/test_system.py`_ or
`psutil/tests/test_process.py`_.
- if possible, write a platform-specific test in
``psutil/tests/test_{platform}.py`` (e.g. `psutil/tests/test_linux.py`_).
This usually means testing the return value of the new API against
a system CLI tool.
- update the doc in ``doc/index.py``.
- update `HISTORY.rst`_ and `CREDITS`_ files.
- make a pull request.
Make a pull request
-------------------
- fork psutil (go to https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil and click on "fork")
- git clone the fork locally: ``git clone git@github.com:YOUR-USERNAME/psutil.git``
- create a branch:``git checkout -b new-feature``
- commit your changes: ``git commit -am 'add some feature'``
- push the branch: ``git push origin new-feature``
- create a new PR via the GitHub web interface and sign-off your work (see
`CONTRIBUTING.md`_ guidelines)
Continuous integration
----------------------
Unit tests are automatically run on every ``git push`` on **Linux**, **macOS**,
**Windows** and **FreeBSD** by using:
- `Github Actions`_ (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- `Appveyor`_ (Windows)
.. image:: https://img.shields.io/github/workflow/status/giampaolo/psutil/CI?label=Linux%2C%20macOS%2C%20FreeBSD
:target: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/actions?query=workflow%3ACI
.. image:: https://img.shields.io/appveyor/ci/giampaolo/psutil/master.svg?maxAge=3600&label=Windows
:target: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/giampaolo/psutil
OpenBSD, NetBSD, AIX and Solaris does not have continuos test integration.
Documentation
-------------
- doc source code is written in a single file: `/docs/index.rst`_.
- doc can be built with ``make setup-dev-env; cd docs; make html``.
- public doc is hosted at https://psutil.readthedocs.io
