Style
=====
* For indentation, use *four space characters* per level of indentation. Keep
lines under the 80 chars limit (only exception are the functions definition)
* When comparing C pointers with NULL, use == and != instead of the python
operator "is". This makes a visual distinction between python and C code.
* For long lines that do not fit in the 80 cols please use only the first
raccomandation from PEP-8 (Aligned with opening delimiter). Example:
Yes:
foo = long_function_name(var_one, var_two,
var_three, var_four)
No:
foo = long_function_name(
var_one, var_two,
var_three, var_four)
This to keep new code consistent with the rest of the bindings and to
try to match the style of the C efl code style as much as possible.
...also because I found it more readable and I like it more :P -davemds-
Documentation cheatsheet
========================
* Links:
:class:`List` (for classes)
:func:`elm_list_go` (for functions)
:attr:`homogeneous` (for properties)
:ref:`Elm_List_Mode` (for enums)
:data:`ELM_LIST_LIMIT` (for enum values)
:func:`efl.evas.Object.delete` (for items not in current scope)
:func:`~efl.evas.Object.delete` (will show it short, just "delete")
* Formatting:
``ELM_LIST_SCROLL`` (for enum values, bools and None)
* Versions:
.. versionadded:: 1.15
.. versionchanged:: 1.15
Description of the change.
.. deprecated:: 1.15
Use the blah, blah way instead.
* Notes:
.. seealso:: :py:attr:`mode`
.. note:: Some text to be noted, blah, blah, blah,
some more information for this note, etc.
.. warning:: Same as note, but the box will be red
some more information for this warning, etc.
Design patterns
===============
* From "The Zen of Python":
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
Tips
====
* cython does automatic dict <-> struct conversion with basic struct members
Release process instructions
============================
* use "api_coverage.py --python elementary" to see the missing bindings
* Announce at enlightenment-release@lists.sourceforge.net and
enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net that you are planning for the release
* Change versions in efl/__init__.py (ex: 1.9.0)
* Update the ChangeLog file:
setup.py build_doc -b changes ...and manually merge from the html file
* Git push and wait jenkins to generate the tarballs and the documentation
JENKIS IS DEAD :( these are the manual instructions:
* setup.py sdist --formats gztar,xztar
* (cd dist) sha256sum python-efl-1.9.0.tar.xz > python-efl-1.9.0.tar.xz.sha256
* setup.py build_doc (check that inheritance graphs are there)
* Test the generated tarballs
* scp tarballs & md5sums to:
download.enlightenment.org:/srv/web/download.enlightenment.org/pre-releases/
* Announce at enlightenment-release@lists.sourceforge.net and
enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net that tarballs are ready for testing
... wait 24 hours, fix any issues found. In the mean time you can prepare the
release announcement for phame/ml.
* ssh to download.enlightenment.org and mv tarballs & md5sums to:
/srv/web/download.enlightenment.org/rel/bindings/python/
* Upload the .tar.gz archive to pypi:
- NOTE: pypi is migrating to pypi.org domain, you must work on the new one
- python setup.py sdist upload (need ~/.pypirc)
- more info at https://packaging.python.org/guides/migrating-to-pypi-org/
* Create and push the tag for the release
git tag -a v1.9.0 && git push origin v1.9.0
* Create and push the branch for stable backporting
git branch python-efl-1.9 && git push origin python-efl-1.9
* scp the jenkins generated html documentation to:
download.enlightenment.org:/srv/web/docs.enlightenment.org/python-efl/1.XX.0/
and update the 'current' link on the server (ssh)
* Update download link on the wiki (www.enlightenment.org/download)
* Publish the blog post on phame (Official Announcements)
* Announce the release to release@lists.enlightenment.org and
enlightenment-release@lists.sourceforge.net
* Change versions again in efl/__init__.py (ex: 1.9.99)
