The main repository for zope.interface
is in the Zope Foundation Github repository:
You can get a read-only checkout from there:
$ git clone https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface.git
or fork it and get a writeable checkout of your fork:
$ git clone git@github.com/jrandom/zope.interface.git
The project also mirrors the trunk from the Github repository as a Bazaar branch on Launchpad:
https://code.launchpad.net/zope.interface
You can branch the trunk from there using Bazaar:
$ bzr branch lp:zope.interface
If you use the virtualenv
package to create lightweight Python development environments, you can run the tests using nothing more than the python
binary in a virtualenv. First, create a scratch environment:
$ /path/to/virtualenv --no-site-packages /tmp/hack-zope.interface
Next, get this package registered as a "development egg" in the environment:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.interface/bin/python setup.py develop
Finally, run the tests using the build-in setuptools
testrunner:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.interface/bin/python setup.py test -q
running test
...

Ran 2 tests in 0.000s
OK
The dev
command alias downloads and installs extra tools, like the nose
testrunner and the coverage
coverage analyzer:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.interface/bin/python setup.py dev
$ /tmp/hack-zope.interface/bin/nosetests
running nosetests
.................................... (lots more dots)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 707 tests in 2.166s
OK
If you have the coverage
package installed in the virtualenv, you can see how well the tests cover the code:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.interface/bin/nosetests --with coverage
running nosetests

zope.interface
uses the nifty Sphinx
documentation system for building its docs. Using the same virtualenv you set up to run the tests, you can build the docs:
The docs
command alias downloads and installs Sphinx and its dependencies:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.interface/bin/python setup.py docs
...
$ bin/sphinx-build -b html -d docs/_build/doctrees docs docs/_build/html
...
build succeeded.
Build finished. The HTML pages are in docs/_build/html.
You can also test the code snippets in the documentation:
$ bin/sphinx-build -b doctest -d docs/_build/doctrees docs docs/_build/doctest
...
running tests...

zope.interface
ships with its own buildout.cfg
file and bootstrap.py
for setting up a development buildout:
$ /path/to/python2.7 bootstrap.py

Generated script '.../bin/buildout'
$ bin/buildout
Develop: '/home/jrandom/projects/Zope/BTK/interface/.'
...
Generated script '.../bin/sphinx-quickstart'.
Generated script '.../bin/sphinx-build'.
You can now run the tests:
$ bin/test --all

tox is a Python-based test automation tool designed to run tests against multiple Python versions. It creates a virtualenv
for each configured version, installs the current package and configured dependencies into each virtualenv
, and then runs the configured commands.
zope.interface
configures the following tox
environments via its tox.ini
file:
- The defined Python environments build a
virtualenv
with various Python 2, Python 3, PyPy 2 and PyPy 3 versions, installzope.interface
and dependencies, and run the tests viapython setup.py test -q
. - The
coverage
environment builds avirtualenv
withpython2.7
, installszope.interface
and dependencies, installsnose
andcoverage
, and runsnosetests
with statement coverage. - The
docs
environment builds a virtualenv withpython2.7
, installszope.interface
and dependencies, installsSphinx
and dependencies, and then builds the docs and exercises the doctest snippets.
This example requires that you have a working python2.7
on your path, as well as installing tox
:
$ tox -e py26
GLOB sdist-make: .../zope.interface/setup.py
py26 sdist-reinst: .../zope.interface/.tox/dist/zope.interface-4.0.2dev.zip
py26 runtests: commands[0]
...

zope.interface
tracks its bugs on Github:
Please submit bug reports and feature requests there.
Note
Please ensure that all tests are passing before you submit your code. If possible, your submission should include new tests for new features or bug fixes, although it is possible that you may have tested your new code by updating existing tests.
If have made a change you would like to share, the best route is to fork the Githb repository, check out your fork, make your changes on a branch in your fork, and push it. You can then submit a pull request from your branch:
If you branched the code from Launchpad using Bazaar, you have another option: you can "push" your branch to Launchpad:
$ bzr push lp:~jrandom/zope.interface/cool_feature
After pushing your branch, you can link it to a bug report on Launchpad, or request that the maintainers merge your branch using the Launchpad "merge request" feature.
