This section contains information for further development of the module.
Python-based scription solution Paver scripting tool solution is used to build and distribute the software. Since the package already contains the dependencies to Paver, the basic building can be done as follows
python setup.py bdist_egg sdist_src
However, installation of the paver is strongly suggested. After installation, the documentation, building and packaging can be all in once:
paver package
To build just the documentation, run:
paver doc
The unit testing in Rusty is implemented by eating the own dog food: the latest version of extensions are always used to generate content the documentation. In addition to user documentation, there exists a separate test documentation that tries the different variations of the module usage.
To run the tests (to generate the test documentation), run shell command:
python setup.py test OR paver test
The software is licensed with liberal MIT license, making it suitable for both commercial and open source usage:
