Features

• a minimal GitHub API client for release info/assets
• a ZipFile subclass that preserves file permissions (workaround for Python #15795)
• pytest fixtures including "keepable" temporary directories and snapshot testing utilities
• pytest markers to skip test cases conditional on operating system, installed packages, or available executables
• a parser for MODFLOW 6 definition files
• a models API for streamlined access to MODFLOW 6 (and other) models in
  • MODFLOW-ORG/modflow6-examples
  • MODFLOW-ORG/modflow6-testmodels
  • MODFLOW-ORG/modflow6-largetestmodels

Requirements

Python3.10+, dependency-free by default.

Two main dependency groups are available, oriented around specific use cases:

• test: pytest fixtures, markers, and extensions
• ecosystem: program/model management, definition file utilities

Installation

modflow-devtools is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip:

pip install modflow-devtools

To install an optional dependency group:

pip install "modflow-devtools[test]"

To install from source and set up a development environment please see the developer documentation.

To use the pytest fixtures provided by modflow-devtools, add the following to a test file or conftest.py file:

pytest_plugins = [ "modflow_devtools.fixtures" ]

Note: this must be a top-level conftest.py, which nested conftest.py files may then override or extend.

Documentation

Docs are available at modflow-devtools.readthedocs.io.
