Zulip API

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

zulip: PyPI package for Zulip's API bindings.
zulip_bots: PyPI package for Zulip's bots and bots API.
zulip_botserver: PyPI package for Zulip's Flask Botserver.

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.

Fork and clone the Git repo, and set upstream to zulip/python-zulip-api:

git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/python-zulip-api.git
cd python-zulip-api
git remote add upstream https://github.com/zulip/python-zulip-api.git
git fetch upstream

Make sure you have pip.
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>
```
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.
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.
