Steve Howell f191d44992 docs: Add tools/test-lib to README.
It's important to run these tests if you're modifying
the bot library itself.  The tests are really fast,
so there's no harm in regular users running them, so
they get a sanity check that the libraries themselves
are stable.

Zulip API

Build status Coverage status

This repository contains the source code for Zulip's PyPI packages:

The source code is written in Python 3.

Development

This is part of the Zulip open source project; see the contributing guide and commit guidelines.

  1. Fork and clone the Git repo: git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/python-zulip-api.git

  2. Make sure you have pip and virtualenv installed.

  3. cd into the repository cloned earlier: cd python-zulip-api

  4. Run:

    python3 ./tools/provision
    

    This sets up a virtual Python environment in zulip-api-py<your_python_version>-venv, where <your_python_version> is your default version of Python. If you would like to specify a different Python version, run

    python3 ./tools/provision -p <path_to_your_python_version>
    
  5. If that succeeds, it will end with printing the following command:

    source /.../python-zulip-api/.../activate
    

    You can run this command to enter the virtual environment. You'll want to run this in each new shell before running commands from python-zulip-api.

  6. Once you've entered the virtualenv, you should see something like this on the terminal:

    (zulip-api-py3-venv) user@pc ~/python-zulip-api $
    

    You should now be able to run any commands/tests/etc. in this virtual environment.
