official PrettyQt docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts,
articles, and such.

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up `prettyqt` for local development.

1. Fork the `prettyqt` repo on GitHub.
2. Clone your fork locally::

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/prettyqt.git

3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development::

    $ mkvirtualenv prettyqt
    $ cd prettyqt/
    $ python setup.py develop

4. Create a branch for local development::

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

   Now you can make your changes locally.

5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the
   tests:

    $ flake8 prettyqt tests
    $ py.test

   To install required development libraries, run "pip install -r requirements_dev.txt".

6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub::

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines
-----------------------

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

1. The pull request should include tests.
2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put
   your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the
   feature to the list in README.rst.
3. The pull request should work for Python 3.6 - 3.8. Check
   https://travis-ci.org/phil65/prettyqt/pull_requests
   and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
