After finishing your changes make sure all tests pass cleanly. Run the testsuite

by invoking ``py.test`` from the project root::

    py.test

Note that on unix systems, the temporary directory (``/tmp`` or where

``$TMPDIR`` points) must allow executable files; Git hooks must be executable,

and the test suite creates repositories in the temporary directory. Linux

systems with /tmp mounted noexec will thus fail.

You can also use ``tox`` to run the tests with all supported Python versions

When running tests, Kallithea generates a `test.ini` based on template values

in `kallithea/tests/conftest.py` and populates the SQLite database specified

there.

It is possible to avoid recreating the full test database on each invocation of

We don't have a formal coding/formatting standard. We are currently using a mix

of Mercurial's (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/CodingStyle), pep8, and

consistency with existing code. Run ``scripts/run-all-cleanup`` before

committing to ensure some basic code formatting consistency.

about Python 3 compatibility.

We try to support the most common modern web browsers. IE9 is still supported

to the extent it is feasible, IE8 is not.

We primarily support Linux and OS X on the server side but Windows should also work.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

pip is a package management system for Python. You will need it to install Kallithea and its dependencies.

If you installed Python 2.7.9+, you already have it (as long as you ran the installer with admin privileges or disabled UAC).

- Go to https://bootstrap.pypa.io

- Right-click on get-pip.py and choose Saves as...

- Run "python2 get-pip.py" in the folder where you downloaded get-pip.py (may require admin access).

.. note::

Python environment

------------------

**Kallithea** is written entirely in Python_ and requires Python version

Given a Python installation, there are different ways of providing the

environment for running Python applications. Each of them pretty much

corresponds to a ``site-packages`` directory somewhere where packages can be

installed.
