Eel Developers

Setting up your environment

In order to start developing with Eel you'll need to checkout the code, set up a development and testing environment, and check that everything is in order.

Clone the repository

git clone git@github.com:python-eel/Eel.git

(Recommended) Create a virtual environment

It's recommended that you use virtual environments for this project. Your process for setting up a virutal environment will vary depending on OS and tool of choice, but might look something like this:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Note: venv is listed in the .gitignore file so it's the recommended virtual environment name

Install project requirements

pip3 install -r requirements.txt        # eel's 'prod' requirements
pip3 install -r requirements-test.txt   # pytest and selenium
pip3 install -r requirements-meta.txt   # tox

(Recommended) Run Automated Tests

Tox is configured to run tests against each major version we support (3.7+). In order to run Tox as configured, you will need to install multiple versions of Python. See the pinned minor versions in .python-version for recommendations.

Tox Setup

Our Tox configuration requires Chrome and ChromeDriver. See each of those respective project pages for more information on setting each up.

Note: Pay attention to the version of Chrome that is installed on your OS because you need to select the compatible ChromeDriver version.

Running Tests

To test Eel against a specific version of Python you have installed, e.g. Python 3.7 in this case, run:

tox -e py36

To test Eel against all supported versions, run the following:

tox
