Contribution Guide

We welcome contributions to the pyApp project (and sub projects).

To get our PR accepted quickly please ensure the following requirements are met:

• Install the pre-commit hooks to ensure you code is formatted by black.

• Ensure your code has unit test coverage (using pyTest). Unittests should be designed to be as fast as possible.

• Ensure your code passes the pyLint checks (this is part of the automated build).

• Update the docs with the details if required.

• The API matters, ensure any features provide a nice API for both developers and end-users.

The core pyApp package is intended to be light and mainly made up of plumbing code. If you want to add support for a particular service or server an extension is the way to do this.

See the Developing an Extension section of the extensions doc for guidance on building your own extension.
