Development

To build and install from the latest source:

$ git clone [email protected]:chargehound/chargehound-python.git
$ pip install -r dev_requirements.txt

Run tests:

$ python setup.py test

Deployment

If you added a new depency, make sure the change is reflected in the requirements.txt file (for unit tests), the dev_requirements.txt file (for module publishers) and the setup.py file (for module consumers).

To deploy a new version of the SDK, you will need Pandoc (http://pandoc.org/) installed. Pandoc will convert the README.md into the .rst format required for the Python repository. Instructions are here: http://pandoc.org/installing.html.

Next, install PyPandoc, the Python wrapper for Pandoc, following these instructions.

The last pre-requisite is Twine, a utility for interacting with PyPi.

Once Pandoc, PyPandoc and Twine are installed, you can build and deploy a new module to PyPi with the following steps:

1. Update the CHANGELOG to describe what feature have been added.
2. Bump the version number in chargehound/version.py
3. Rebuild and deploy the package with: python setup.py sdist
4. Upload the distributable to PyPi using:
   twine upload dist/{name_of_generated_package}
5. Confirm the new package version is available at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/chargehound
