-It's highly recommended to run `tox` before you create your Pull Request to avoid annoying fixes. Local testing requires `tox` to be installed.

 ```bash

-This will run unit tests against python 3.4 and 3.5 (if both are available locally), as well as run a set of tests which validate `pep8` and `pylint` style of the code.

-You can optionally run tests on only one tox target using the `-e` option to select an environment. For instance `tox -e lint` will run the linters only, `tox -e py34` will run unit tests only on python 3.4.

-Tox uses virtual environments under the hood to create isolated testing environments. The Tox virtual environments will get out date when requirements change causing test errors. Run `tox -r` to create new Tox virtual environments.

 ```bash

 ### {% linkable_title Notes on PyLint and PEP8 validation %}
 
-In case a PyLint warning cannot be avoided, add a comment to disable the PyLint check for that line. This can be done using the format `# pylint: disable=YOUR-ERROR-NAME`. Example of an unavoidable PyLint warning is if you do not use the passed in datetime if you're listening for time change.
