Development
===========

.. highlight:: bash

If you wish to contribute to this project, then you should fork the
repository found here:

https://github.com/python-excel/xlrd

Once that has been done and you have a checkout, you can follow these
instructions to perform various development tasks:

Setting up a virtualenv
-----------------------

The recommended way to set up a development environment is to turn
your checkout into a virtualenv and then install the package in
editable form as follows::

  $ virtualenv .
  $ bin/pip install -e .[test]

Running the tests
-----------------

Once you've set up a virtualenv, the tests can be run as follows::

  $ source bin/activate
  $ pytest

Building the documentation
--------------------------

The Sphinx documentation is built by doing the following, having activated
the virtualenv above, from the directory containing setup.py::

  $ source bin/activate
  $ cd docs
  $ make html

To check that the description that will be used on PyPI renders properly,
do the following::

  $ python setup.py --long-description | rst2html.py > desc.html

Making a release
----------------

To make a release, just update the version in ``xlrd.info.__VERSION__``, update the change log
and push to https://github.com/python-excel/xlrd
and Carthorse should take care of the rest.
