xlutils 2.0.0
This package is developed using continuous integration which can be found here:
https://travis-ci.org/python-excel/xlutils
If you wish to contribute to this project, then you should fork the repository found here:
https://github.com/python-excel/xlutils
Development of this package also requires local clones of both
xlrd
and
xlwt
. The following example will set up local
clones as required, but you should use your own forks so that you may
push back to them:
git clone git://github.com/python-excel/xlutils.git
git clone git://github.com/python-excel/xlrd.git
git clone git://github.com/python-excel/xlwt.git
cd xlutils
Once you have an appropriate set of local repositories, you can follow these instructions to perform various development tasks:
The recommended way to set up a development environment is to turn your checkout into a virtualenv and then install the package in editable form as follows:
$ virtualenv .
$ bin/pip install -U -e .[test,build]
You will now also need to install xlrd and xlwt into the virtualenv:
$ source bin/activate
$ cd ../xlrd
$ pip install -e .
$ cd ../xlwt
$ pip install -e .
The Sphinx documentation is built by doing the following from the directory containg setup.py:
cd docs
make html
To make a release, just update
xlutils/version.txt
, update the change log,
tag it and push to
https://github.com/python-excel/xlutils
and Travis CI should take care of the rest.
Once the above is done, make sure to go to https://readthedocs.org/projects/xlutils/versions/ and make sure the new release is marked as an Active Version.
