Travis Python Template

This package provides a basic template for setting up Travis CI with Python. It assumes you are using conda for installation of dependencies, and pytest to run your unit tests.

Setting Up Travis

1. Sign in to Travis with your GitHub account (authentication page) and accept the permissions confirmation (this needs to be done only once).
2. Go to your Travis profile page and click the check-box next to the repository you want to test (you may have to first click the "Sync Repositories" button if it is a new repo).
3. Commit a file called .travis.yml in your repository (note that it must start with a ".", which marks it as a hidden file). Feel free to copy and modify the one from this repository (you'll need to change the PACKAGENAME and CONDA_DEPS variables to match your package) Pushing this file to master will trigger a new travis build. If the file is already in the repository, a push to master or the opening of a pull request will trigger a new build.
4. If you wish, add a "build status" icon to your README. The code looks like this, (Note that you must, in two places, replace username with your GitHub username, and repo with the name of your respository)
