To get started developing dql, clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/stevearc/dql.git
It is recommended that you create a virtualenv to develop:
# python 3
python3 -m venv dql_env
# python 2
virtualenv dql_env
source ./dql_env/bin/activate
pip install -e .
The command to run tests is python setup.py nosetests
, but I recommend using tox. Some of these tests require DynamoDB Local. There is a nose plugin that will download and run the DynamoDB Local service during the tests. It requires the java 6/7 runtime, so make sure you have that installed.
