The preferred way to report a problem or request/disccuss new features is by opening a new issue at https://github.com/etetoolkit/ete/issues . Please check if there is already such an open issue before creating a new one.

Contributions to the main code, unit-tests and documentation are very welcome. The preferred procedure is:

• Clone the repository.
• Add features or correct bugs as necessary (keep your branch in sync with the upstream branch).
  • For new features, add doc string documentation and unittests functions where necessary.
  • For new modules, add documentation, unittests and a tutorial section.
• Send a Pull Request for code review and discussion.

To run the tests, after you have a local installation (pip install -e .[test] or similar, see README.md for details), you can run the tests with:

./run_tests.py

To see all the available options for running the tests, use:

./run_tests.py -h
