Local Development
We require 100% code coverage in our unit tests. You can run the tests locally
with tox which will print out a code coverage report. Creating a pull request
will run the tests against python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and PyPy.
$ tox
We also require features to be well documented. After installing the requirements,
you can generate a local copy of documentation by going to the docs directory
and running:
$ make clean && make html
