Developing Flit — Flit 3.10.1 documentation

# Developing Flit

To get a development installation of Flit itself:

    git clone https://github.com/pypa/flit.git
    cd flit
    python3 -m pip install docutils requests
    python3 bootstrap_dev.py

This links Flit into the current Python environment, so you can make changes and try them without having to reinstall each time.

To run the tests in separate environments for each available Python version:

    tox

tox has many options.

To run the tests in your current environment, run:

    pytest
