helps, and credit will always be given.
You can contribute in many ways:
Types of Contributions
----------------------
Report Bugs
~~~~~~~~~~~
Report bugs at https://github.com/SpotlightKid/python-rtmidi/issues.
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.
* Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.
Fix Bugs
~~~~~~~~
Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with "bug" is open to
whoever wants to fix it.
Implement Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with "feature" is
open to whoever wants to implement it.
Write Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
python-rtmidi could always use more documentation, whether as part of the
official python-rtmidi 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/SpotlightKid/python-rtmidi/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 `python-rtmidi` for local
development.
1. Fork the ``python-rtmidi`` repo on GitHub.
2. Clone your fork locally::
$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:your_name_here/python-rtmidi.git
3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have
``virtualenvwrapper`` installed, this is how you set up your fork for local
development::
$ mkvirtualenv python-rtmidi
$ cd python-rtmidi/
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
$ python -m pip install .
4. Create a branch for local development::
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
5. When you're done making changes, make sure that your changes pass the
``flake8`` checks and the unit tests, also testing other Python versions
with ``tox``::
$ make lint
$ make test
``flake8`` and ``tox`` shoudl have been installed via the requirements
file used in the instructions above. Should you use a different setup, make
sure you ``pip install`` them into your current Python environment.
6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub::
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Detailed description of your changes."
$ git push -u origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
Pull Request Guidelines
-----------------------
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
1. The pull request should include tests.
2. 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 release notes in ``CHANGELOG.rst``.
3. The pull request should work for all supported Python 3 versions (see
classifiers in ``pyproject.toml``)
Run ``tox`` to make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python
versions.
Tips
----
To run a subset of tests::
$ py.test -v tests/test_foo.py::test_foo
