# Contributing to aioitertools

## Preparation

You'll need to have Python 3.8 or newer available for testing.
I recommend using [pyenv][] for this:

```sh
$ pyenv install 3.12
$ pyenv shell 3.12
```

## Setup

Create a fresh development enviroment, and install the
appropriate tools and dependencies:

```sh
$ cd <path/to/aioitertools>
$ make venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
```

## Submitting

Before submitting a pull request, please ensure
that you have done the following:

* Documented changes or features in README.md
* Added appropriate license headers to new files
* Written or modified tests for new functionality
* Used `make format` to format code appropriately
* Validated and tested code with `make test lint`
