This project contains Python 3 libraries to interact with, and access, the (IETF data tracker)[https://datatracker.ietf.org], (RFC index)[https://www.rfc-editor.org], and related resources.

The project uses Pipenv for dependency management. To begin, run:

pipenv install --dev

to create a Python virtual environment with appropriate packages install. Then, run:

pipenv shell

to start the virtual environment, within which you can run the scripts.

Once the virtual environment is started, running:

python3 tests/test_datatracker.py 

will run the test suite for the datatracker module. Running:

python3 tests/test_rfcindex.py

Will test the rfcindex module.

• Edit CHANGELOG.md and ensure up-to-date
• Edit setup.py to ensure the correct version number is present
• Edit ietfdata/datatracker.py to fix version number in DataTracker::ua
• Commit changes and push to Github
• Run make test to run the test suite. If any tests fail, fix then restart the release process
• Run python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel to prepare the package
• Run python3 -m twine upload dist/* to upload the package
• Commit the packages files in dist/* push to Github
• Tag the release in Github
