----------------------------------------
Summary: Update contributors guide to include proper development
instructions for python SDK
Key: BEAM-2340
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2340
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: website
Reporter: Chamikara Jayalath
Currently Apache Beam contributor's guide [1] gives proper developer
instructions for Java SDK developers including Maven and IDE setup.
Contributor's guide does not mention development guidelines for Python SDK
(other than instructions for cloning the repo using git).
I suspect people who read this guide ends up assuming that Maven is needed to
develop Python SDK which is not the case (and AFAIK non of the Python SDK
developers regularly use Maven).
Hence, I believe that contributor's guide should be updated to include
following instructions.
(1) Setting up a virtual environment (for a cloned repo)
(2) Testing Python SDK
(3) IDE setup (PyCharm ?)
