> Currently Apache Beam contribution guide [1] gives proper developer instructions for Java SDK developers including Maven and IDE setup.
> Contribution guide does not mention development guidelines for Python SDK (other than instructions for cloning the repo using git).
> I suspect people who read this guide ends up assuming that Maven is needed to develop Python SDK which is not the case (and AFAIK non of the Python SDK developers regularly use Maven).
> Hence, I believe that contribution guide should be updated to include following instructions.
> (1) Setting up a virtual environment (for a cloned repo)
> (2) Testing Python SDK
> (3) IDE setup (PyCharm ?)
