Contribution Guidelines

Release cycle

  • Master branch commits are automatically packaged and published to PyPI.

  • We follow both Semantic Versioning pattern and PEP440 recommendations where comply

  • Branches for planned staging versions follow the pattern: X_Y_Z (Major.Minor.Micro)

  • Make your pull requests go to the closest staging branch (with smallest after release number of either current or next Minor)

  • Make sure your branch is up to date with the branch you are making a PR to

Example:

  • Latest released version in PyPI 0.7.31

  • Closest staging Minor branch in sosw/sosw 0_7_33

  • Latest Minor staging branch in sosw/sosw 0_7_35

  • Closest Next Minor branch in sosw/sosw 0_9_1

Your PR should be to either 0_7_33 or 0_9_1 depending on the importance of changes.

Code formatting

  • follow the PEP8 with the following details:

  • both classes and functions are padded with 2 empty lines
