Developing sofine

The README documentation covers the very common case of using sofine as a library to manage and call your own plugins and use them in your own applications.

However, you might want to develop with sofine more directly. Perhaps you want to just use the simple plugin loading mechanism in sofine/lib/utils/utils.py or want to fork the project to add features or integrate it with another project. Here is how to get started.

Install Dependencies

To run the make docs target to build updated documentation in the docs directory, you may need to install two dependencies.

pip install mako
pip install markdown

To support using the plugins in PROJECT_ROOT/sofine/plugins/examples and running the tests in PROJECT_ROOT/tests/*_examples.py:

easy_install mechanize
easy_install beautifulsoup4
pip install ystockquote

make Targets

To run core unit tests on OSX/Linux: make test, on Windows: test.bat

To run unit tests on the example plugins on OSX/Linux: make test_examples, on Windows test_examples.bat
