After finishing your changes make sure all tests pass cleanly. You can run

the testsuite running ``py.test`` from the project root, or if you use tox

run ``tox`` for Python 2.6--2.7 with multiple database test.

When running tests, Kallithea uses `kallithea/tests/test.ini` and populates the

SQLite database specified there.

It is possible to avoid recreating the full test database on each invocation of

the tests, thus eliminating the initial delay. To achieve this, run the tests as::

    paster serve kallithea/tests/test.ini --pid-file=test.pid --daemon

    KALLITHEA_WHOOSH_TEST_DISABLE=1 KALLITHEA_NO_TMP_PATH=1 py.test

    kill -9 $(cat test.pid)

In these commands, the following variables are used::

    KALLITHEA_WHOOSH_TEST_DISABLE=1 - skip whoosh index building and tests

    KALLITHEA_NO_TMP_PATH=1 - disable new temp path for tests, used mostly for testing_vcs_operations

You can run individual tests by specifying their path as argument to py.test.

py.test also has many more options, see `py.test -h`. Some useful options

are::

    -k EXPRESSION         only run tests which match the given substring

                          expression where all names are substring-matched

                          against test names and their parent classes. Example:

    -x, --exitfirst       exit instantly on first error or failed test.

    --lf                  rerun only the tests that failed at the last run (or

                          all if none failed)

    --ff                  run all tests but run the last failures first. This

                          may re-order tests and thus lead to repeated fixture

                          setup/teardown

    --pdb                 start the interactive Python debugger on errors.

    -s, --capture=no      don't capture stdout (any stdout output will be

                          printed immediately)

We don't have a formal coding/formatting standard. We are currently using a mix
