Because this project has many optional (pluggable) parts like persistence
backends and engines, we decided to split our requirements into three
parts: - things that are absolutely required (you can't use the project
without them) are put into requirements-pyN.txt (N being the
Python major version number used to install the package). The requirements
that are required by some optional part of this project (you can use the
project without them) are put into our tox.ini file (so that we can still
test the optional functionality works as expected). If you want to use the
feature in question (eventlet or the worker based engine that
uses kombu or the sqlalchemy persistence backend or jobboards which
have an implementation built using kazoo ...), you should add
that requirement(s) to your project or environment; - as usual, things that
required only for running tests are put into test-requirements.txt.
Our tox.ini file describes several test environments that allow to test
TaskFlow with different python versions and sets of requirements installed.
Please refer to the tox documentation to understand how to make these test
environments work for you.
We also have sphinx documentation in docs/source.
To build it, run:
$ python setup.py build_sphinx
