If you find bugs, errors, omissions or other things that need improvement, please create an issue or a pull request at https://github.com/spatialaudio/jackclient-python. Contributions are always welcome!
Instead of pip-installing the latest release from PyPI, you should get the newest development version from Github:
git clone https://github.com/spatialaudio/jackclient-python.git cd jackclient-python python3 -m pip install -e .
... where -e stands for --editable.
This way, your installation always stays up-to-date, even if you pull new
changes from the Github repository.
Note
Whenever the file jack_build.py changes (either because you edited it or
it was updated by pulling from Github or switching branches), you have to
run the last command again.
If you make changes to the documentation, you can locally re-create the HTML pages using Sphinx. You can install it and a few other necessary packages with:
python3 -m pip install -r doc/requirements.txt
To create the HTML pages, use:
python3 setup.py build_sphinx
The generated files will be available in the directory build/sphinx/html/.
There are no proper tests (yet?), but the code examples from the README file can be verified with pytest. If you haven't installed it already, you can install it with:
python3 -m pip install pytest
As soon as pytest is installed, you can run the (rudimentary) tests with:
python3 -m pytest
