Pytere

Introduction

Welcome to the documentation of the pytere package.

pytere (Python template repository) is simply a template repository for python packages.

This full-fledged template provides you with everything you need (documentation, unit-tests, code linting & formatting, pre-commit hooks, etc...) so you can just focus on writing the code.

If you want to use this template, follow the instructions at the Usage page.

Installation

Latest version

You can install the latest version of the package directly from PyPi with :

pip install pytere

Hint

pip install "pytere[docs] @ git+https://github.com/astariul/pytere.git"

List of extra dependencies :

  • test : Dependencies for running unit-tests.
  • hook : Dependencies for running pre-commit hooks.
  • lint : Dependencies for running linters and formatters.
  • docs : Dependencies for building the documentation.
  • dev : test + hook + lint + docs.
  • all : All extra dependencies.

Contribute

To contribute, install the package locally (see Installation), create your own branch, add your code (and tests, and documentation), and open a PR !

Pre-commit hooks

Pre-commit hooks are set to check the code added whenever you commit something.

Info

If you never ran the hooks before, install it with : 

pip install -e .[hook]
pre-commit install

When you try to commit your code, hooks are automatically run, and if your code does not meet the quality required by linters, it will not be committed. You then have to fix your code and try to commit again !

Tip

You can manually run the pre-commit hooks with : 

pre-commit run --all-files

Unit-tests

When you contribute, you need to make sure all the unit-tests pass. You should also add tests if necessary !

Info

Install the testing dependencies with : 

pip install -e .[test]

You can run the tests with :

pytest

Info

Tests are not included in the pre-commit hooks, because running the tests might be slow, and for the sake of developpers we want the pre-commit hooks to be fast !

Documentation

When you contribute, make sure to keep the documentation up-to-date.

You can visualize the documentation locally by running :

mkdocs serve

Info

Before running this, you need to install the documentation dependencies : 

pip install -e .[docs]
