[SciPy-Dev] Procedure for new code submission (pyHHT)

Fair enough!!

Oh great!

Seems sensible, then people can take it or leave it as required!

Thanks for your help.


Moving away from HHT, what are the documentation requirements and testing
requirements for submissions in general?

The test classes as written like
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/TESTS.rst.txt<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/TESTS.rst.txt%20>test
the execution of the code and the results? So in writing a test class
do you need to develop a test set of data and check that the result of the
test is what is expected? Then more over how do you justifiy what is
expected is correct. For a certian function (like HHT or Wavelet) do you
have to check the transform against a simple generated signal that makes it
clear the output is correct or a test 'real life' dataset?

Also for dicumentation am I right in thinking that API reference is created
from docstrings and a tutorial style documentation should be made seperatly?

Thanks
Stuart
