The main repository for zope.configuration is in the Zope Subversion repository:
http://svn.zope.org/zope.configuration
You can get a read-only Subversion checkout from there:
$ svn checkout svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zope.configuration/trunk zope.configuration
The project also mirrors the trunk from the Subversion repository as a Bazaar branch on Launchpad:
https://code.launchpad.net/zope.configuration
You can branch the trunk from there using Bazaar:
$ bzr branch lp:zope.configuration
If you use the virtualenv package to create lightweight Python development environments, you can run the tests using nothing more than the python binary in a virtualenv. First, create a scratch environment:
$ /path/to/virtualenv --no-site-packages /tmp/hack-zope.configuration
Next, get this package registered as a “development egg” in the environment:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin/python setup.py develop
Finally, run the tests using the build-in setuptools testrunner:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin/python setup.py test
running test
........
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 249 tests in 0.366s
OK
If you have the nose package installed in the virtualenv, you can use its testrunner too:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin/easy_install nose
...
$ /tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin/python setup.py nosetests
running nosetests
.......
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 249 tests in 0.366s
OK
or:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin/nosetests
.......
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 249 tests in 0.366s
OK
If you have the coverage pacakge installed in the virtualenv, you can see how well the tests cover the code:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin/easy_install nose coverage
...
$ /tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin/python setup.py nosetests \
--with coverage --cover-package=zope.configuration
running nosetests

zope.configuration uses the nifty Sphinx documentation system for building its docs. Using the same virtualenv you set up to run the tests, you can build the docs:
$ /tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin/easy_install Sphinx
...
$ cd docs
$ PATH=/tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin:$PATH make html
sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees . _build/html
...
build succeeded.
Build finished. The HTML pages are in _build/html.
You can also test the code snippets in the documentation:
$ PATH=/tmp/hack-zope.configuration/bin:$PATH make doctest
sphinx-build -b doctest -d _build/doctrees . _build/doctest
...

tox is a Python-based test automation tool designed to run tests against multiple Python versions. It creates a virtualenv for each configured version, installs the current package and configured dependencies into each virtualenv, and then runs the configured commands.
zope.configuration configures the following tox environments via its tox.ini file:
This example requires that you have a working python2.6 on your path, as well as installing tox:
$ tox -e py26
GLOB sdist-make: .../zope.interface/setup.py
py26 sdist-reinst: .../zope.interface/.tox/dist/zope.interface-4.0.2dev.zip
py26 runtests: commands[0]

Running tox with no arguments runs all the configured environments, including building the docs and testing their snippets:
$ tox

zope.configuration tracks its bugs on Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope.configuration
Please submit bug reports and feature requests there.
Note
Please ensure that all tests are passing before you submit your code. If possible, your submission should include new tests for new features or bug fixes, although it is possible that you may have tested your new code by updating existing tests.
If you got a read-only checkout from the Subversion repository, and you have made a change you would like to share, the best route is to let Subversion help you make a patch file:
$ svn diff > zope.configuration-cool_feature.patch
You can then upload that patch file as an attachment to a Launchpad bug report.
If you branched the code from Launchpad using Bazaar, you have another option: you can “push” your branch to Launchpad:
$ bzr push lp:~tseaver/zope.configuration/cool_feature
After pushing your branch, you can link it to a bug report on Launchpad, or request that the maintainers merge your branch using the Launchpad “merge request” feature.
