No Development Guide

Description

It is not clear how to begin editing a forked version of this. This may be trivial to a seasoned python dev, but I am not one. My apologies, and thank you for making this available to us.

I know this project has been well though-out, and forked many times. Is there a guide or youtube video for developing your own fork?

Steps/Code to Reproduce

1. Forked original project
2. Created a venv virtualenv running python 3.8.12
3. Added print statements to setup.py, wordcloud_cli.py, and wordcloud.py, while also editing the code sometimes for a sanity check.
4. Ran python setup.py develop
5. Ran wordcloud_cli --text sza.txt --imagefile wordcloud.jpeg --mask sza.jpeg --repeat

Expected Results

Expected the print statements to show. Or the edited code to have an effect.

Actual Results

But nothing happens. It’s as though it has some saved built version is still running / being compiled. (However, the print statement in setup.py DID show. None of the other code changes seem to have an effect though.)

I create 2 directories: …/word_cloud/lib .…/word_cloud/src containing the git clone and execute python3 setup.py develop --install-dir .../word_cloud/lib. add .../word_cloud/lib to the PYTHONPATH. use from word_cloud.src.wordcloud import WordCloud in my test.

Thanks for fast reply, my env is ready.

My bad, it was a localhosted link, I correct the post with a proper link. Render may vary with browser when using such a svg feature, the properest is FireFox. If interested tell me the branch I open a PR.
