Build

Building Python package

For building the library, you need Poetry. Build is then simply triggered using

poetry build

This creates the source and wheel files in dist/ subdirectory -- which can then be uploaded or installed locally using pip.

Test

Start the complete test suite or a specific test case (and generate coverage report):

poetry run pytest

or

poetry run coverage run -m pytest
poetry run coverage report -m --omit "*/site-packages/*.py"
poetry run coverage html --omit "*/site-packages/*.py"

Demo

The script show_licenses.py shows how to use the library to retrieve some information of a given CLI file.

python ./show_licenses.py ./test/testfiles/CLIXML_MIT_simple.xml
