IMPORTANT: Python 3.7 only for the moment (PRs welcome!)

Installation

• From source:

  $ python setup.py install
  

For Development

• Install developer environment:

  $ make devready
  

  Alternatively:

  $ python3 -m venv myvenv
  $ source myvenv/bin/activate
  $ make setup
  

• Activate the environment:

  $ source venv/3.7/bin/activate
  

  (or other python version as appropriate for your system)

• During development, you'll need to recompile any code changes to the .pyx files, like this:

  $ pip install -e .
  

• Test it (in current Python environment):

  $ make test
