Purpose
A helper library for mathematical calculations and symbolic mathematics, used by the edx-platform.
This code originally lived in the edx-platform repo, but now exists here independently.
Getting Started with Development
General
Please see the Open edX documentation for guidance on Python development in this repo.
Instructions
Fork and clone the repository, then open a terminal and cd into the repo folder.
Install uv, then install the dependencies:
make requirements
source .venv/bin/activateThis creates and manages its own virtual environment via uv sync, using one of the python versions specified for the repo (currently 3.12) – there’s no need to create one yourself.
Then you can run the tests with just tox.
When Upgrading Requirements
Run make upgrade to get new versions, then source .venv/bin/activate and tox -r to build the new virtual environment.
