Contributing to the XIL project

Contributions to the XIL project are warmly welcomed! Please read the following guidelines before contributing.

How to contribute?

Issues

Reporting bugs

If you find a bug or an outdated code that no longer works, please open an issue on the project's issue tracker. Make sure:

  • The issue is not already reported by searching through the issues list.
  • The issue is reproducible. Include steps to reproduce the issue.
  • Include your local environment information, such as your operating system, your Python version, the version of the project you are using, etc.

Suggesting enhancements

More than happy to hear your suggestions for improvements and new features. Please open an issue on the project's issue tracker.

Pull requests

Please open a pull request after you have opened an issue and discussed the changes you want to make. This way we can make sure that the changes you want to make are actually needed.

Code changes should be accompanied by tests. Make sure all the tests pass before opening a pull request.
If a test is a "live" test - i.e., it requires an internet connection - mark it with the live pytest marker: @pytest.mark.live.

Use the project

If you find the project useful, please consider starring it on GitHub. This will help others find the project.

Setting up the project locally

To set up the project on your computer, follow the steps below.

Cloning the repository

Make sure you have Git installed and clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/jond01/xil.git

Python environment

Python version

This package supports specific versions of Python, with the latest version specified in the .python-version file. Make sure you have at least this version installed. You can use pyenv to manage multiple Python versions.

If you use pyenv, install the specified Python version by running:

pyenv install

From the root of the project.

Virtual environment

To reproduce the exact Python environment used in this project, install uv (version specified in the constraint file) and run:

uv sync

from the root of the project. To activate the uv virtual environment, run:

source .venv/bin/activate

Pre-commit hooks

To validate your code before committing, install the pre-commit hooks:

pre-commit install

You need to run this command only once. pre-commit is installed by uv when you run uv sync.

Every time you commit, the pre-commit hooks will run and validate your code to make sure it complies with the project's standards. The hooks include the following checks:

  • ruff: code linting and formatting
  • mypy: type checking
  • pylint: code quality

The full list of hooks can be found in the .pre-commit-config.yaml file.

Running the tests

To run the tests, run:

uv run pytest

Or simply pytest if you are in the activated virtual environment. All the tests should pass. Make sure you run the tests before committing your code.

Building the package

To build the package, run:

uv build

Release workflow (for maintainers)

To release a new version, follow the steps below.

Issue a new signed tag locally:

git tag -s <version> -m "Release <version>"

Replace <version> with the version you want to release, e.g. 0.10.2 - without a v prefix.

Push the tag to GitHub:

git push origin <version>

Run the release workflow on GitHub Actions:

  1. First choose test-pypi, and verify that the package is built and uploaded to TestPyPI:
    https://test.pypi.org/project/xil/.
    Download the wheel and verify the version number in the files:
    • METADATA
    • xil/__init__.py
  2. Then choose pypi, and verify that the package is built and uploaded to PyPI:
    https://pypi.org/project/xil/

After it's done - draft a new release on GitHub. Choose the tag you have just created:
https://github.com/jond01/xil/releases/new

Hooray! We have a new release! 🎉
