The HEA Object Library contains data and other classes that are passed into and out of HEA REST APIs.

Version 1

Initial release.

Runtime requirements

• Python 3.8, 3.9, or 3.10.

Development environment

Build requirements

• Any development environment is fine.
• On Windows, you also will need:
  • Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019, found at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/. Select the C++ tools.
  • git, found at https://git-scm.com/download/win.
• On Mac, Xcode or the command line developer tools is required, found in the Apple Store app.
• Python 3.10: Download and install Python 3.10 from https://www.python.org, and select the options to install for all users and add Python to your environment variables. The install for all users option will help keep you from accidentally installing packages into your Python installation's site-packages directory instead of to your virtualenv environment, described below.
• Create a virtualenv environment using the python -m venv <venv_directory> command, substituting <venv_directory> with the directory name of your virtual environment. Run source <venv_directory>/bin/activate (or <venv_directory>/Scripts/activate on Windows) to activate the virtual environment. You will need to activate the virtualenv every time before starting work, or your IDE may be able to do this for you automatically. Note that PyCharm will do this for you, but you have to create a new Terminal panel after you newly configure a project with your virtualenv.
• From the project's root directory, and using the activated virtualenv, run pip install wheel followed by pip install -r requirements_dev.txt. Do NOT run python setup.py develop. It will break your environment.

Running unit tests

Run tests with the pytest command from the project root directory.
