Crackerjack Python

Crackerjack is a python coding style which uses a minimalist approach to produce elegant, easy to read, code.

crack·​er·​jack ˈkra-kər-ˌjak : a person or thing of marked excellence

Why Crackerjack?

Crackerjack works on the theory that with static typing and explicit class, function, variable, and other object names - the code should be straight forward to read. Documentation and tests should be able to write themselves using a generative ai. Crackerjack provides a set of guidelines and utilities to keep the codebase clean, elegant, standardized, and easily readable.

What does this package do?

This package:

• streamlines and standardizes code style across numerous packages

• installs, or updates, a project's pre-commit tools as well as .gitignore & other config files to comply with evolving crackerjack standards

• runs the following pre-commit hooks (in order):

  • pdm-lock-check
  • various core pre-commit-hooks
  • ruff
  • vulture
  • creosote
  • flynt
  • codespell
  • autotyping
  • refurb
  • bandit
  • pyright
  • ruff (again for sanity checking)

• converts/creates documentation in Markdown (md) (work in progress)

• runs tests and generates pytest mock stubs if needed (work in progress)

• bumps the project version and publishes it to PyPI

• commits changes to git repositories

What are the rules?

(...more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. -Captain Barbossa )

• code is statically typed

• all docstrings, README's, and other documentation is to be done in Markdown (md)

• use aiopath.AsyncPath or pathlib.Path not os.path

• import typing as t

• do not capitalize all letters in configuration settings or constants (we diverge from PEP-8 here for not other reason than it looks ugly)

• functions that deal with path operations should get passed AsyncPaths or Paths - not strings

• use PDM (uv support enabled) for dependency management and package building/publishing

• use pdoc and mkdocs for producing documentation

• use pytest for testing

• be compliant with, and only support, the latest python version within 2 months after release

Installation

From your projects root directory:

pdm add -d crackerjack

Usage

From your projects root directory:

python -m crackerjack

For a full list of options:

python -m crackerjack -h

When you ready to publish your project:

python -m crackerjack -p micro

The -p option not only publishes your project but will bump your project version for you. The options are 'micro', 'minor', and 'major'. Put the -c option at the end and commit the bumped version to your git repository at the same time:

python -m crackerjack -p micro -c
