To Install and Use

You can simply install the package from PyPi. There's no need to clone this repo.

pip install --upgrade dazbo-commons

Then, in your Python code, include this import:

import dazbo_commons as dc

Coloured Logging Module

This module provides a function to retrieve a logger that logs to the console, with colour.

Example:

import logging
import dazbo_commons as dc

logger_name = __name__ # or just pass in a str
logger = dc.retrieve_console_logger(logger_name)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO) # Set threshold. E.g. INFO, DEBUG, or whatever

logger.info("Some msg") # log at info level

To Build From Package Source

1. Create a Python virtual environment and activate. E.g.

python3 -m venv .dazbo-commons-env
source .dazbo-commons-env/bin/activate

2. Install dependent packages:

py -m pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run tests. E.g.

py -m unittest discover -v -s tests -p '*.py'

4. Install packages for actually creating the build. (If nto already included in requirements.txt):

py -m pip install twine
py -m pip install --upgrade build

5. Make any required updates to the setup.py file. E.g. the version attribute.

6. Build the package.

py -m build

This generates a dist folder in your project folder.

7. Upload the package to PyPi.

Notes:

• You'll need to create a free account, if you haven't done so already.
• You'll need to generate an API token in Account Settings, for uploading to the API.
• You may want to delete any previous builds.

py -m twine upload dist/*

You'll be prompted for your API token. In my experience, when doing this from a terminal inside VS Code, Ctrl-V doesn't work here. So I use Paste from the menu, and this works.

And we're done!
