This directory contains the code for the Python `brotli` module,
`bro.py` tool, and roundtrip tests.
### Installation
If you just want to install the module from source, execute the
following from the root project directory:
$ python setup.py install
### Development
For development, reinstalling the module with every change is time
consuming. Instead, we recommend using the `setuptools`
"[development mode][]" to make the module available while still being
able to edit the source files.
We provide a `Makefile` to simplify common commands:
$ make # Deploy the module in "development mode"
$ make tests # Test the module
$ make clean # Remove all temporary files and build output
### Code Style
Brotli's code follows the [Google Python Style Guide][]. To
automatically format your code, first install [YAPF][]:
$ pip install yapf
Then, to format all files in the project, you can run:
$ make fix # Automatically format code
See the [YAPF usage][] documentation for more information.
