<h2>Python 2.4 compatibility<a class="headerlink" href="#python-2-4-compatibility" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>At the moment, we’re supporting python-2.4 and above.  Understand that there’s
a lot of python features that we cannot use because of this.</p>
<p>Sometimes modules in the <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.python.org/library">python standard library</a> can be added to kitchen so that they’re
available.  When we do that we need to be careful of several things:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Keep the module in sync with the version in the python-2.x trunk.  Use
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">maintainers/sync-copied-files.py</span></code> for this.</li>
<li>Sync the unittests as well as the module.</li>
<li>Be aware that not all modules are written to remain compatible with
Python-2.4 and might use python language features that were not present
then (generator expressions, relative imports, decorators, with, try: with
both except: and finally:, etc)  These are not good candidates for
importing into kitchen as they require more work to keep synced.</li>
</ol>

<div class="section" id="unittests">
<h2>Unittests<a class="headerlink" href="#unittests" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">At least smoketest your code (make sure a function will return expected
values for one set of inputs).</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Note that even 100% coverage is not a guarantee of working code!  Good tests
will realize that you need to also give multiple inputs that test the code
paths of called functions that are outside of your code.  Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">to_unicode</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">msg</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">encoding</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">&#39;utf8&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">errors</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">&#39;replace&#39;</span><span class="p">):</span>

<span class="c1"># Smoketest only.  This will give 100% coverage for your code (it</span>
<span class="c1"># tests all of the code inside of to_unicode) but it leaves a lot of</span>
<span class="c1"># room for errors as it doesn&#39;t test all combinations of arguments</span>
<span class="c1"># that are then passed to the unicode() function.</span>

<span class="n">tools</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">ok_</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">to_unicode</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;abc&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="o">==</span> <span class="sa">u</span><span class="s1">&#39;abc&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>

<span class="c1"># Better -- tests now cover non-ascii characters and that error conditions</span>

<div class="section" id="docstrings-and-documentation">
<h2>Docstrings and documentation<a class="headerlink" href="#docstrings-and-documentation" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>We use sphinx to build our documentation.  We use the sphinx autodoc extension
to pull docstrings out of the modules for API documentation.  This means that
docstrings for subpackages and modules should follow a certain pattern.  The
general structure is:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Introductory material about a module in the module’s top level docstring.<ul>
<li>Introductory material should begin with a level two title: an overbar and
underbar of ‘-‘.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>docstrings for every function.<ul>
<li>The first line is a short summary of what the function does</li>
<li>This is followed by a blank line</li>
<li>The next lines are a <cite>field list
&lt;http://sphinx.pocoo.org/markup/desc.html#info-field-lists&gt;_</cite> giving
information about the function’s signature.  We use the keywords:
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">arg</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">kwarg</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">raises</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">returns</span></code>, and sometimes <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">rtype</span></code>.  Use
these to describe all arguments, key word arguments, exceptions raised,
and return values using these.<ul>
<li>Parameters that are <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">kwarg</span></code> should specify what their default
behaviour is.</li>

<span id="id1"></span><h2>Kitchen versioning<a class="headerlink" href="#kitchen-versioning" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Currently the kitchen library is in early stages of development.  While we’re
in this state, the main kitchen library uses the following pattern for version
information:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><dl class="first docutils">
<dt>Versions look like this::</dt>
<dd>__version_info__ = ((0, 1, 2),)
__version__ = ‘0.1.2’</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li>The Major version number remains at 0 until we decide to make the first 1.0
release of kitchen.  At that point, we’re declaring that we have some
confidence that we won’t need to break backwards compatibility for a while.</li>
<li>The Minor version increments for any backwards incompatible API changes.
When this is updated, we reset micro to zero.</li>
<li>The Micro version increments for any other changes (backwards compatible API
changes, pure bugfixes, etc).</li>
</ul>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Versioning is only updated for releases that generate sdists and new
uploads to the download directory.  Usually we update the version
information for the library just before release.  By contrast, we update
kitchen <a class="reference internal" href="#subpackage-versioning"><span class="std std-ref">Versioning</span></a> when an API change is made.  When in
doubt, look at the version information in the last release.</p>

<div class="section" id="i18n">
<h2>I18N<a class="headerlink" href="#i18n" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>All strings that are used as feedback for users need to be translated.
<code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">kitchen</span></code> sets up several functions for this.  <code class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">_()</span></code> is used for
marking things that are shown to users via print, GUIs, or other “standard”
methods.  Strings for exceptions are marked with <code class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">b_()</span></code>.  This function
returns a byte <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">str</span></code> which is needed for use with exceptions:</p>

<p>This serves several purposes:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>It marks the strings to be extracted by an xgettext-like program.</li>
<li><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">_()</span></code> is a function that will substitute available translations at

</ul>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">By using the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">%()s</span> <span class="pre">with</span> <span class="pre">dict</span></code> style of string formatting, we make this
string friendly to translators that may need to reorder the variables when
they’re translating the string.</p>

<p><cite>paver &lt;http://www.blueskyonmars.com/projects/paver/&gt;_</cite> and <cite>babel

<h2>API updates<a class="headerlink" href="#api-updates" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Kitchen strives to have a long deprecation cycle so that people have time to
switch away from any APIs that we decide to discard.  Discarded APIs should
raise a <code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">DeprecationWarning</span></code> and clearly state in the warning message and
the docstring how to convert old code to use the new interface.  An example of
deprecating a function:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">warnings</span>

<h2>Kitchen subpackages<a class="headerlink" href="#kitchen-subpackages" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>

<p>Each subpackage should have its own version information which is independent
of the other kitchen subpackages and the main kitchen library version. This is
used so that code that depends on kitchen APIs can check the version
information.  The standard way to do this is to put something like this in the
subpackage’s <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">__init__.py</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">kitchen.versioning</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">version_tuple_to_string</span>

The
values of the first tuple should describe API changes to the module.  There
are at least three numbers present in the tuple: (Major, minor, micro).  The
major version number is for backwards incompatible changes (For
instance, removing a function, or adding a new mandatory argument to
a function).  Whenever one of these occurs, you should increment the major
number and reset minor and micro to zero.  The second number is the minor
version.  Anytime new but backwards compatible changes are introduced this
number should be incremented and the micro version number reset to zero.  The
micro version should be incremented when a change is made that does not change
the API at all.  This is a common case for bugfixes, for instance.</p>
<p>Version information beyond the first three parts of the first tuple may be
useful for versioning but semantically have similar meaning to the micro
version.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">We update the <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">__version_info__</span></code> tuple when the API is updated.
This way there’s less chance of forgetting to update the API version when
a new release is made.  However, we try to only increment the version
numbers a single step for any release.  So if kitchen-0.1.0 has
kitchen.text.__version__ == ‘1.0.1’, kitchen-0.1.1 should have
kitchen.text.__version__ == ‘1.0.2’ or ‘1.1.0’ or ‘2.0.0’.</p>
