Core common functionality of Jupyter projects.
This package contains base application classes and configuration inherited by other projects. It doesn't do much on its own.
The Jupyter Contributor Guides provide extensive information on contributing code or documentation to Jupyter projects. The limited instructions below for setting up a development environment are for your convenience.
You'll need Python and pip
on the search path. Clone the Jupyter Core git repository to your computer, for example in /my/projects/jupyter_core
.
Now create an editable install
and download the dependencies of code and test suite by executing:
cd /my/projects/jupyter_core/
pip install -e .
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
py.test
The last command runs the test suite to verify the setup. During development, you can pass filenames to py.test
, and it will execute only those tests.
jupyter_core
has adopted automatic code formatting so you shouldn't
need to worry too much about your code style.
As long as your code is valid,
the pre-commit hook should take care of how it should look.
pre-commit
and its associated hooks will automatically be installed when
you run pip install -e ".[test]"
To install pre-commit
manually, run the following:
pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install
You can invoke the pre-commit hook by hand at any time with:
pre-commit run
which should run any autoformatting on your code and tell you about any errors it couldn't fix automatically. You may also install black integration into your text editor to format code automatically.
If you have already committed files before setting up the pre-commit
hook with pre-commit install
, you can fix everything up using
pre-commit run --all-files
. You need to make the fixing commit
yourself after that.
The documentation of Jupyter Core is generated from the files in docs/
using Sphinx. Instructions for setting up Sphinx with a selection of optional modules are in the Documentation Guide. You'll also need the make
command.
For a minimal Sphinx installation to process the Jupyter Core docs, execute:
pip install sphinx
The following commands build the documentation in HTML format and check for broken links:
cd /my/projects/jupyter_core/docs/
make html linkcheck
Point your browser to the following URL to access the generated documentation:
file:///my/projects/jupyter_core/docs/_build/html/index.html
