>>> asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(examples.request_data_async())

How to generate and read locally the autodoc

• Install Sphinx, included into the development dependencies:

poetry install

• Generate documentation

poetry run make docs

• The HTML documentation is generated in docs/_build/html folder.

Development

• When writing docstrings, use the reStructuredText format recommended by https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0287/#docstring-significant-features

• Use make commands to check the code and the format.

• Install runtime dependencies

poetry install --no-dev

• Before submitting a merge requests, please check the static typing and tests.

• Install dev dependencies

poetry install

• Check static typing with mypy

make check

• Run all unit tests (builtin unittest module) with:

make tests

• Run only some unit tests by passing a special ENV variable:

make tests TESTS_FILTER=tests.documents.test_block.TestBlock.test_fromraw

Packaging and deploy

PyPI

Change and commit and tag the new version number (semantic version number)

./release.sh 0.42.3

Build the PyPI package in the dist folder

make build

Deploy the package to PyPI test repository (prefix the command with a space for the shell to not save it in its history system, since the command contains credentials)

[SPACE]make deploy_test PYPI_TEST_LOGIN=xxxx PYPI_TEST_PASSWORD=xxxx

Install the package from PyPI test repository

pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.python.org/simple/ duniterpy

Deploy the package on the PyPI repository (prefix the command with a space for the shell to not save it in its history system, since the command contains credentials)
