Usage

Installation

To use the software, in the root directory, run

pip install -e .

To develop the code, run

pip install -e .[dev]

Linters and testing

There are several libraries used to run linters, check documentation, and run tests.

• Please test your changes using the coverage library, which will run the tests and log a coverage report:

coverage run -m unittest discover && coverage report

• Use interrogate to check that modules, methods, etc. have been documented thoroughly:

interrogate .

• Use flake8 to check that code is up to standards (no unused imports, etc.):

flake8 .

• Use black to automatically format the code into PEP standards:

black .

• Use isort to automatically sort import statements:

isort .

Pull requests

For internal members, please create a branch. For external members, please fork the repository and open a pull request from the fork. We'll primarily use Angular style for commit messages. Roughly, they should follow the pattern:

<type>(<scope>): <short summary>

where scope (optional) describes the packages affected by the code changes and type (mandatory) is one of:

• build: Changes that affect build tools or external dependencies (example scopes: pyproject.toml, setup.py)
• ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (examples: .github/workflows/ci.yml)
• docs: Documentation only changes
• feat: A new feature
• fix: A bugfix
• perf: A code change that improves performance
• refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
• test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests

Semantic Release

The table below, from semantic release, shows which commit message gets you which release type when semantic-release runs (using the default configuration):

Commit message	Release type
fix(pencil): stop graphite breaking when too much pressure applied	Patch Fix Release, Default release
feat(pencil): add 'graphiteWidth' option	Minor Feature Release
perf(pencil): remove graphiteWidth option BREAKING CHANGE: The graphiteWidth option has been removed. The default graphite width of 10mm is always used for performance reasons.	Major Breaking Release (Note that the BREAKING CHANGE: token must be in the footer of the commit)

Documentation

To generate the rst files source files for documentation, run

sphinx-apidoc -o docs/source/ src

Then to create the documentation HTML files, run

sphinx-build -b html docs/source/ docs/build/html

More info on sphinx installation can be found here.

Read the Docs Deployment

Note: Private repositories require Read the Docs for Business account. The following instructions are for a public repo.

The following are required to import and build documentations on Read the Docs:

• A Read the Docs user account connected to Github. See here for more details.
• Read the Docs needs elevated permissions to perform certain operations that ensure that the workflow is as smooth as possible, like installing webhooks. If you are not the owner of the repo, you may have to request elevated permissions from the owner/admin.
• A .readthedocs.yaml file in the root directory of the repo. Here is a basic template:

# Read the Docs configuration file
# See https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config-file/v2.html for details

# Required
version: 2

# Set the OS, Python version, and other tools you might need
build:
  os: ubuntu-24.04
  tools:
    python: "3.13"

# Path to a Sphinx configuration file.
sphinx:
  configuration: docs/source/conf.py

# Declare the Python requirements required to build your documentation
python:
  install:
    - method: pip
      path: .
      extra_requirements:
        - dev

Here are the steps for building docs in Read the Docs. See here for detailed instructions:

• From Read the Docs dashboard, click on Add project.
• For automatic configuration, select Configure automatically and type the name of the repo. A repo with public visibility should appear as you type.
• Follow the subsequent steps.
• For manual configuration, select Configure manually and follow the subsequent steps

Once a project is created successfully, you will be able to configure/modify the project's settings; such as Default version, Default branch etc.
