Contributing to PlutoPrint

We welcome contributions! PlutoPrint is a Python wrapper around a C++ library, so the environment setup is slightly more involved than pure Python projects.

   git clone https://github.com/plutoprint/plutoprint
   cd plutoprint

2. Install Build Tools: You need a C++ compiler, meson, and ninja. See the Installation page for platform-specific dependencies.

3. Install Python Dev Dependencies:

   pip install -r docs/requirements.txt

Running Tests

The project uses pytest.

python -m pytest

Tests are located in the tests/ directory and cover Book rendering, canvas operations, and configuration objects.
