Development

Introduction

We originally started rebuilding rdwd in Python as a starting project, but soon got accompanied by others to make this work as flawless as we can.

We are always looking for others to join and bring in their own ideas so please consider writing us! Below you can find more about contribution and the most recent changelog of the library.

Contribution

As we are currently keeping development simple, so don't worry to much about style. If you want a PR to be merged, describe what you changed at best precision and we guarantee a fast merge.

Otherwise, if you have an idea of a problem or even better a solution just let us know via an issue (you could also describe problem with words so we can figure out how to solve it with a suitable programming solution).

For working on the code base, please clone the repository and install development dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/earthobservations/wetterdienst
cd wetterdienst

pip install .
# or
poetry install

Before committing, run the black code formatter and the linter to test for appropriate formatting. This will inform you in case of problems with tests and your code format.

nox -s tests
nox -s black
nox -s lint

In order to run the tests more quickly:

poetry install --extras=sql --extras=excel
poetry shell
pytest -vvvv -m "not (remote or slow)"
