Hacking
-------
### Requirements
* [Python](http://www.python.org) 2.7.x.
* [netlib](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/netlib), version matching mitmproxy.
* Third-party packages listed in [setup.py](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/master/setup.py)
Optional packages for extended content decoding:
* [PyAMF](http://www.pyamf.org/) version 0.6.1 or newer.
* [protobuf](https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/) version 2.5.0 or newer.
* [cssutils](http://cthedot.de/cssutils/) version 1.0 or newer.
For convenience, all optional dependencies can be installed with
`pip install "mitmproxy[contentviews]"`
### Setting up a dev environment
The following procedure is recommended to set up your dev environment:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy.git
$ cd mitmproxy
$ pip install --src . -r requirements.txt
```
This installs the latest GitHub versions of mitmproxy, netlib and pathod into `mitmproxy/`. All other development dependencies save countershape are installed into their usual locations.
### Testing
The test suite requires the `dev` extra requirements listed in [setup.py](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/master/setup.py) and [pathod](http://pathod.net), version matching mitmproxy. Install these with:
`pip install "mitmproxy[dev]"`
Please ensure that all patches are accompanied by matching changes in the test
suite. The project maintains 100% test coverage.
### Docs
Rendering the documentation requires [countershape](http://github.com/cortesi/countershape). After installation, you can render the documentation to the doc like this:
`cshape doc-src doc`
