You can start the unit tests to confirm your changes.

cd http-api
TEST_CONFIG=test.config.LocalConfig nosetests test.unittests

This will run nosetests to do all unit tests with the local storage backend. Using another environment variable tests other backends, for example irods.

TEST_CONFIG=test.config.IrodsConfig nosetests test.unittests

For this, you probably want to configure your irods server in

vim test/config.py

You can also execute the tests partially, by class

TEST_CONFIG=test.config.LocalConfig nosetests test.unittests:TestHttpApi

or by single test

TEST_CONFIG=test.config.LocalConfig nosetests test.unittests:TestStorageApi.test_stat

If you start the tests without an environment variable, nosetests will try to test the mock backend, which is already deprecated. Please don't be upset about errors.

Primarily all code has to adhere to PEP8 http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/.
