Guidelines

  • Keep in mind that gazpacho does not want to do everything. It is a replacement for BeautifulSoup and requests for most projects but not all projects
  • Always write tests for any change introduced
  • If the change involves new methods, arguments or otherwise modifies the public API, make sure to adjust the README.md
  • If the change is beyond cosmetic, add it to the CHANGELOG.md file and give yourself credit!
