geneagrapher-core 0.1.0

Functions for getting records and building graphs from the Math Genealogy Project.

geneagrapher-core

Overview

Geneagrapher is a tool for extracting information from the Mathematics Genealogy Project to form a math family tree, where connections are between advisors and their students.

This package contains the core data-grabbing and manipulation functions needed to build a math family tree. The functionality here is low level and intended to support the development of other tools. If you just want to build a geneagraph, take a look at Geneagrapher. If you want to get mathematician records and use them in code, then this project may be useful to you.

Development

Dependencies in this package are managed by Poetry. Thus, your Python environment will need Poetry installed. Install all dependencies with:

$ poetry install

Several development commands are runnable with make:

• make fmt (also make black and make format) formats code using black
• make format-check runs black and reports if the code passes formatting checks without making changes
• make lint (also make flake8 and make flake) does linting
• make mypy (also make types) checks the code for typing violations
• make test runs automated tests
• make check does code formatting (checking, not modifying), linting, type checking, and testing in one command; if this command does not pass, CI will not pass
