How to Install and Use This Package

Platform Configuration

• Windows users: Use python and pip commands instead of python3 and pip3 where necessary.

  pip install pipenv
  python your_program_filename.py
  

• macOS/Linux users: Ensure Python 3 is installed and use python3.

  pip3 install pipenv
  python3 your_program_filename.py
  

1. Install pipenv (if not already installed):

   pip3 install pipenv
   

2. Install the package:

   pip3 install funtasks
   

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   pipenv shell
   

4. Create a Python program file to import and use the package:

   from funtasks.tasks import add_task, complete_task, random_task, random_daily_goal
   add_task("Tell a joke", 2)
   complete_task("Tell a joke")
   print(random_task())
   print(random_daily_goal(25))
   

5. Run the program:

   python3 your_program_filename.py
   

6. Exit the virtual environment:

   exit
   

Alternative: Run the Package Directly

1. Create and activate a pipenv virtual environment.
2. Run the package directly:

   python3 -m funtasks
   

3. Exit the virtual environment:

   exit
   

How to Run Unit Tests

We've included three unit tests for each function in the funtasks package. To run these tests:

1. Install pytest in the virtual environment:

   pipenv install pytest
   

2. Run the tests from the main project directory:

   python3 -m pytest
   

3. Verify all tests pass to ensure correct functionality.
