Here you'll find all possible ways to contribute to the project.

Since pyp5js have a lot of moving parts, it would be great to have the p5.js API fully covered and tested. So, use your imagination, code your sketches and, if pyp5js breaks or starts to annoy you with something, you're very welcome to open an issue documenting your thoughts. Test it and let me know how can I improve it.

If you fell confortable with that, I'd be happy to add some of your pyp5js sketches to our examples list! To do so, you'll have to fork this repository and add your new sketch example in the docs/examples directory. Once you've your sketch ready, you can open a pull request and I'll take a look at it.

Okay, if you want to contribute with pyp5js's code, let's go! I really advise you to use virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper or pyenv to isolate your pyp5js fork from the rest of your system. Once you have everything ready, you can run:

$ git clone [email protected]:YOUR_GITHUB_PROFILE/pyp5js.git
$ cd pyp5js
$ pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
$ python setup.py develop
$ make test

After that, you should have the pyp5js command enabled and it will respect all the changes you introduce to the code. Now, a brief explanation about the code under pyp5js directory:

• config module: centralize pieces of code used to configure how pyp5js runs
• cli.py: the entrypoint for pyp5js commands such as new or compile
• commands.py: just functions responsible for the real implementations for pyp5js commands
• compiler.py: where all the magic happens!
• exception.py: custom exceptions used by pyp5js
• monitor.py: module with the objects used by the monitor command
• sketch.py: class to abstract Sketches' files, directories and configuration
• template_renderers.py: simple module with the renderization logic for the code templates like target_sketch.py
• http/web_app.py: Flask application for the web interface.

Now go fetch yourself an issue and happy hacking!
