Contributing

Note

If you are looking for items to contribute, start by looking at current open issues and search the source code for "TODO" items.

Issue submission

Issues are tracked on GitHub:

Follow the guidelines detailed in the appropriate section below. As a general rule of thumb, provide as much information as possible when submitting issues.

Bug reports

  • Title should be a short, descriptive summary of the bug

  • Include the Python and ipwhois versions affected

  • Provide a context (with code example) in the description of your issue. What are you attempting to do?

  • Include the full obfuscated output. Make sure to set DEBUG logging:

    import logging
LOG_FORMAT = ('[%(asctime)s] [%(levelname)s] [%(filename)s:%(lineno)s] '
   '[%(funcName)s()] %(message)s')
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format=LOG_FORMAT)

  • Include sources of information with links or screenshots

  • Do you have a suggestion on how to fix the bug?

Feature Requests

  • Title should be a short, descriptive summary of the feature requested
  • Provide use case examples
  • Include sources of information with links or screenshots
  • Do you have a suggestion on how to implement the feature?

Testing

You may have noticed that Travis CI tests are taking longer to complete. This is due to the enabling of online lookup tests (network tests in the ipwhois/tests/online directory).

When running local tests, you may include these tests by adding the --include=online flag to your nosetests command.

Example:

nosetests -v -w ipwhois --include=online --exclude=stress --with-coverage
 --cover-package=ipwhois

Questions

I am happy to answer any questions and provide assistance where possible. Please be clear and concise. Provide examples when possible. Check the ipwhois documentation and the issue tracker before asking a question.

Questions can be submitted as issues. Past questions can be searched by filtering the label "question".

You can also message me on IRC. I am usually idle on freenode in the Python channels

Pull Requests

What to include

Aside from the core code changes, it is helpful to provide the following (where applicable):

  • Unit tests
  • Examples
  • Sphinx configuration changes in /docs
  • Requirements (python2.txt, python3.txt, docs/requirements.txt)

GitFlow Model

This library follows the GitFlow model. As a contributor, this is simply accomplished by the following steps:

  1. Create an issue (if there isn't one already)
  2. Branch from dev (not master), try to name your branch to reference the issue (e.g., issue_123_feature, issue_123_bugfix).
  3. Merge pull requests to dev (not master). Hotfix merges to master will only be allowed under extreme/time sensitive circumstances.

Guidelines

  • Title should be a short, descriptive summary of the changes

  • Follow PEP 8 where possible.

  • Follow the Google docstring style guide for comments

  • Must be compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.4+

  • Break out reusable code to functions

  • Make your code easy to read and comment where necessary

  • Reference the GitHub issue number in the description (e.g., Issue #01)

  • When running nosetests, make sure to add the following arguments:

    --verbosity=3 --nologcapture --include=online --cover-erase

    If you would like to exclude the aggressive online stress tests, add to the above:

    --exclude stress
