• Commit to your repository
• Issue a github pull request.

Also we try to be as much pep8 compatible as possible, where possible and reasonable.

Test suite

pymonetdb comes with a test suite This test suite verifies that the code actually works and makes development much easier. To run all tests please run from the source:

   $ pip install tox
   $ tox

* MAPIPORT - what port is MonetDB running? _50000_ by default
* TSTHOSTNAME -  where is MonetDB running? _localhost_ by default
* TSTPASSPHRASE - what passphrase to test control command? _testdb_ by default
* TSTDB -  what database to use for testing? _demo_ by default
* TSTUSERNAME - username, _monetdb_ by default
* TSTPASSWORD - password, _monetdb_ by default

Note that you first need to create and start a monetdb database. If you want to run the control tests you need to set a passphrase and enable remote control:

$ monetdb create demo
$ monetdb release demo
$ monetdbd set control=yes <path to dbfarm>
$ monetdbd set passphrase=testdb <path to dbfarm>
