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 patches in "git-format-patch"
style.
.. code-block:: bash
# "N" means the number of commits to be included
$ git format-patch -s HEAD~N
# To add cover (e.g., [PATCH 0/X]), specify "--cover-letter" option
$ git format-patch -s --cover-letter HEAD~N
# You can send patches by "git send-email" command
$ git send-email --to="ryu-devel@lists.sourceforge.net" *.patch
Please check your changes with autopep8, pycodestyle(pep8) and running
unit tests to make sure that they don't break the existing features.
The following command does all for you.
.. code-block:: bash
# Install dependencies of tests
$ pip install -r tools/test-requires
# Execute autopep8
# Also, it is convenient to add settings of your editor or IDE for
# applying autopep8 automatically.
$ autopep8 --recursive --in-place ryu/
# Execute unit tests and pycodestyle(pep8)
$ ./run_tests.sh
Of course, you are encouraged to add unit tests when you add new
features (it's not a must though).
Python version and libraries
============================
* Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5:
Ryu supports multiple Python version. CI tests on Travis-CI is running
on these versions.
* standard library + widely used library:
Basically widely used == OpenStack adopted.
As usual there are exceptions. Or python binding library for other
component.
Coding style guide
==================
* pep8:
As python is used, PEP8 is would be hopefully mandatory for
https://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.
https://www.pylint.org/
* Google python style guide is very helpful:
http://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html
* Guidelines derived from Guido's Recommendations:

* OpenStack Nova style guide:
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/HACKING.rst
* JSON files:
Ryu source tree has JSON files under ryu/tests/unit/ofproto/json.
They are used by unit tests. To make patches easier to read,
they are normalized using tools/normalize_json.py. Please re-run
the script before committing changes to these JSON files.
