Development
===========
Contributing
------------
Refer to the `pip development`_ documentation - it applies equally to
virtualenv, except that virtualenv issues should filed on the `virtualenv
repo`_ at GitHub.
Virtualenv's release schedule is tied to pip's -- each time there's a new pip
release, there will be a new virtualenv release that bundles the new version of
pip.
Files in the `virtualenv_embedded/` subdirectory are embedded into
`virtualenv.py` itself as base64-encoded strings (in order to support
single-file use of `virtualenv.py` without installing it). If your patch
changes any file in `virtualenv_embedded/`, run `bin/rebuild-script.py` to
update the embedded version of that file in `virtualenv.py`; commit that and
submit it as part of your patch / pull request.

Running the tests
-----------------
Virtualenv's test suite is small and not yet at all comprehensive, but we aim
to grow it.
The easy way to run tests (handles test dependencies automatically)::
$ python setup.py test
If you want to run only a selection of the tests, you'll need to run them
directly with pytest instead. Create a virtualenv, and install required
packages::
$ pip install pytest mock
Run pytest::
$ pytest
Or select just a single test file to run::
$ pytest tests/test_virtualenv
Status and License
------------------
``virtualenv`` is a successor to `workingenv
<http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/workingenv.py>`_, and an extension
of `virtual-python
<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#creating-a-virtual-python>`_.
It was written by Ian Bicking, sponsored by the `Open Planning
Project <http://openplans.org>`_ and is now maintained by a
`group of developers <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/raw/master/AUTHORS.txt>`_.
