My Python learning project by article series 'Hypermodern Python' (by Claudio Jolowicz)

This repo 98% repeats code from these articles with little improvements for Windows environment (see below) and except several components (pre-commit, pytype, typeguard, Release Drafter)

Notes for Windows host

Updated: 2024-08-05

Functions with temp file on Windows

Windows has security limitation for temp files: OS does not allow processes other than the one used to create the NamedTemporaryFile to access the file (from here)

That's why I modified code like this:

# noxfile.py
import pathlib

def install_with_constraints(session: Session, *args: str, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
    """Install packages constrained by Poetry's lock file."""
    with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False) as requirements:
        session.run(
            "poetry",
            "export",
            ...
        )
        session.install("-r", f"{requirements.name}", *args, **kwargs)
    pathlib.Path(requirements.name).unlink()

Run Nox sessions with pyenv's Python versions

On Windows I use pyenv-win for managing Python interpreter versions.

If you set up pyenv-win correctly, it lets you run your session against multiple interpreters by specifying python to @nox.session (and run sessions the same way as on Linux machines).

@nox.session(python=["3.11", "3.12"], reuse_venv=True)
def tests(session: Session) -> None:
...

The main thing you should do is setting paths to Python interpreters in the right order in your PATH environment variable on Windows.
I wrote a detailed tutorial on their wiki page Configure the order in PATH variable
But to avoid many problems related to discover a Python interpreter version, you also have to add paths for all installed versions of Python "below" (after) path to ...\pyenv-win\shims For example your PATH might look as:

D:\python_tools\.pyenv\pyenv-win\bin
D:\python_tools\.pyenv\pyenv-win\shims\
D:\python_tools\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.8.10
D:\python_tools\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.9.13
D:\python_tools\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.10.8
D:\python_tools\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.11.2
D:\python_tools\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.12.4
