Text encoding
Transitions between internal unicode and external strings should always be immediately and explicitly encoded or decoded.
All external text that is not explicitly encoded (database storage, commandline arguments, etc.) should be presumed to be encoded as utf-8.
Wrong:
mystring = infile.readline() myreturnstring = do_some_magic_with(mystring) outfile.write(myreturnstring)
Right:
mystring = infile.readline() mytext = s.decode('utf-8') returntext = do_some_magic_with(mytext) returnstring = returntext.encode('utf-8') outfile.write(returnstring)
Running Tests
The testing system is based on a combination of tox and stestr. If
you just want to run the whole suite, run tox
and all will
be fine. However, if you'd like to dig in a bit more, you might want to
learn some things about stestr itself.
