<h1>For Developers<a class="headerlink" href="#for-developers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>If you would like to contribute to virtualenvwrapper directly, these
instructions should help you get started.  Patches, bug reports, and
feature requests are all welcome through the <a class="reference external" href="http://bitbucket.org/dhellmann/virtualenvwrapper/">BitBucket site</a>.  Contributions
in the form of patches or pull requests are easier to integrate and
will receive priority attention.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Before contributing new features to virtualenvwrapper core, please
consider whether they should be implemented as an extension instead.</p>

<div class="section" id="building-documentation">
<h2>Building Documentation<a class="headerlink" href="#building-documentation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The documentation for virtualenvwrapper is written in reStructuredText
and converted to HTML using Sphinx. The build itself is driven by
make.  You will need the following packages in order to build the
docs:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Sphinx</li>
<li>docutils</li>
</ul>
<p>Once all of the tools are installed into a virtualenv using
pip, run <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">make</span> <span class="pre">html</span></tt> to generate the HTML version of the
documentation:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ make html
rm -rf virtualenvwrapper/docs
(cd docs &amp;&amp; make html SPHINXOPTS="-c sphinx/pkg")
sphinx-build -b html -d build/doctrees  -c sphinx/pkg source build/html

cp -r docs/build/html virtualenvwrapper/docs</pre>
</div>
<p>The output version of the documentation ends up in
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./virtualenvwrapper/docs</span></tt> inside your sandbox.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="running-tests">
<h2>Running Tests<a class="headerlink" href="#running-tests" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The test suite for virtualenvwrapper uses <a class="reference external" href="http://shunit2.googlecode.com/">shunit2</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://codespeak.net/tox">tox</a>.  The
shunit2 source is included in the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tests</span></tt> directory, but tox must be
installed separately (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pip</span> <span class="pre">install</span> <span class="pre">tox</span></tt>).</p>
<p>To run the tests under bash, zsh, and ksh for Python 2.4 through 2.7,
run <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tox</span></tt> from the top level directory of the hg repository.</p>
<p>To run individual test scripts, use a command like:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ tox tests/test_cd.sh</pre>
</div>
<p>To run tests under a single version of Python, specify the appropriate
environment when running tox:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ tox -e py27</pre>
</div>
<p>Combine the two modes to run specific tests with a single version of
Python:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ tox -e py27 tests/test_cd.sh</pre>
</div>
<p>Add new tests by modifying an existing file or creating new script in
the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tests</span></tt> directory.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="creating-a-new-template">
<span id="developer-templates"></span><h2>Creating a New Template<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-new-template" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>virtualenvwrapper.project templates work like <a class="reference external" href="http://www.doughellmann.com/docs/virtualenvwrapper/plugins.html">virtualenvwrapper
plugins</a>.
The <em>entry point</em> group name is
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">virtualenvwrapper.project.template</span></tt>.  Configure your entry point to
refer to a function that will <strong>run</strong> (source hooks are not supported
for templates).</p>
<p>The argument to the template function is the name of the project being
created.  The current working directory is the directory created to
hold the project files (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$PROJECT_HOME/$envname</span></tt>).</p>
<div class="section" id="help-text">
<h3>Help Text<a class="headerlink" href="#help-text" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>One difference between project templates and other virtualenvwrapper
extensions is that only the templates specified by the user are run.
The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mkproject</span></tt> command has a help option to give the user a list of
the available templates.  The names are taken from the registered
entry point names, and the descriptions are taken from the docstrings
for the template functions.</p>
