How to Get Your Change Into Ryu

Submitting a change

Send patches to ryu-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. Please don't use 'pull request' on github. We expect you to send a patch in Linux kernel development style. If you are not familiar with it, please read the following document:

http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/SubmittingPatches

Please check your changes with pep8 and run unittests to make sure that they don't break the existing features. The following command does both for you:

fujita@rose:~/git/ryu$ ./run_tests.sh

Of course, you are encouraged to add unittests when you add new features (it's not a must though).

Python version and libraries

  • Python 2.6+ As RHEL 6 adopted python 2.6, features only for 2.7+ should be avoided.
  • standard library + widely used library Basically widely used == OpenStack adopted As usual there are exceptions. gevents. Or python binding library for other component.

Coding style guide

  • pep8 As python is used, PEP8 is would be hopefully mandatory for http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

  • pylint Although pylint is useful for finding bugs, but pylint score not very important for now because we're still at early development stage.

  • Google python style guide is very helpful http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.html
