How to Help =========== Requests is under active development, and contributions are more than welcome! #. Check for open issues or open a fresh issue to start a discussion around a feature idea or a bug. There is a Contributor Friendly tag for issues that should be ideal for people who are not very familiar with the codebase yet. #. Fork `the repository `_ on Github to start making your changes to the **master** branch (or branch off of it). #. Write a test which shows that the bug was fixed or that the feature works as expected. #. Send a pull request and bug the maintainer until it gets merged and published. :) Make sure to add yourself to `AUTHORS `_. Development dependencies ------------------------ You'll need to install py.test in order to run the Requests' test suite:: $ make test-deps $ make test py.test platform darwin -- Python 2.7.3 -- pytest-2.3.4 collected 25 items test_requests.py ......................... 25 passed in 3.50 seconds Versions of Python ------------------ Officially (as of 26-Nov-2012), requests supports python 2.6-3.3. In the future, support for 3.1 and 3.2 may be dropped. In general you will need to test on at least one python 2 and one python 3 version. You can also set up Travis CI for your own fork before you submit a pull request so that you are assured your fork works. To use Travis CI for your fork and other projects see their `documentation `_. What Needs to be Done --------------------- - Documentation needs a roadmap.
