Contributing

Thank you for your interest in contributing! This document is in pre-pre-alpha stage, so feel free to make edits and suggestions through Pull Requests.

  • Until pyMCR gets to v1.0.X; the versioning will increment by 0.1 for every new release that adds new functionality.

  • Pull-requests that do not add new functionality, will be merged into the 0.3.X branch prior to being merged into master.

  • Functional changes will be merged into the 0.4.X branch.

  • Avoid adding external dependencies unless absolutely necessary – try to stick to the SciPy stack.

  • All functional contributions should have associated tests added to the /pymcr/tests directory.

  • Testing is performed via pytest

  • Test coverage should be > 90%, with some exceptions

  • After contributing, please add your name to the bottom of the README file. No matter how small, all contributors will be recognized.

  • Gist of the release process

Style Notes

  • External imports (e.g., import numpy as _np) should have a prepended underscore to prevent code completion from identifying numpy as belonging to the pymcr module. (Demos and test files exempt).

  • Avoid all-capitalized variables unless constants.

  • For mathematical functions involving matrix math, capitalized and lower-case variables names are permissable to distinguish between vectors and matrices.

Commit Messages

  • I’m working on implementing a standardized notation for commit messages to facilitate auto-changelog. Comments encouraged (send me an email or leave an issue)
