Getting help

Conversations about development and issues take place in the GitHub repository. Feel free to open a new issue if you have something to discuss.

Note

Please do not e-mail us with questions, modelling issues, or code examples. Those are much easier to discuss via GitHub than over e-mail.

Submitting a bug report

Open a new issue in the repository, using the “Bug report” template. To limit the amount of time needed to triage your problem, please do the following:

  • Include a short, self-contained code snippet that reproduces the problem.

  • Specify the version information of the alns installation you use. You can do this by including the output of show_versions():

    import alns
    alns.show_versions()
    

    in your report. You can run this from the command line as

    python -c 'import alns; alns.show_versions()'
    

Submitting a feature request

Please first browse the existing issues and discussions in the GitHub repository to see if your feature has already been requested. If it has not, please open a new issue in the repository, using the “Feature request” template.
