Install

See the documentation

• Install with pip install . or with pip install .[test] to also install the requirements for running tests

• Optionally, if you have an MPI environment available and you would like to test the MPI capabilities of PySM, install mpi4py and libsharp, check the documentation link above for more details.

• This repository uses Git LFS for Jupyter notebook files (*.ipynb). Ensure Git LFS is installed and run git lfs pull after cloning to fetch large files.

• Check code style with uv run flake8 src/pysm3 --count --max-line-length=100

• Test with uv run pytest -v

• Building docs requires pandoc, not the python package, the actual pandoc command line tool, install it with conda or your package manager

• Build docs locally with uv run --extra docs sphinx-build -W -b html docs docs/_build/html

Release

1. Review CHANGES.rst and move the entries you want to ship out of the Unreleased section into a dated <version> (<YYYY-MM-DD>) heading. Commit the changelog update (and any other release-related changes).

2. Ensure the working tree is clean and up to date with git status and git pull.

3. Create or refresh a local environment using uv:

   uv venv .venv
   uv pip install --python .venv/bin/python pip hatch
   uv pip install --python .venv/bin/python -e .[test]

   Activate it for the remaining steps with source .venv/bin/activate.

4. Run the test suite (at least pytest) to verify the release build.

5. Create the annotated release tag, e.g. git tag -a 3.4.3 -m "Release 3.4.3".

6. Confirm Hatch picks up the tagged version:

   hatch version

   The output should match the tag (no .dev suffix).

7. Build the distribution artifacts:

   hatch build

8. Publish to PyPI using your API token. Hatch reads credentials from ~/.pypirc (username __token__). Alternatively export HATCH_INDEX_USER=__token__ and HATCH_INDEX_AUTH=<pypi-token> before running:

   hatch publish --no-prompt

9. Update the conda-forge/pysm3-feedstock recipe for the new release (or merge the bot PR if it already exists) so the conda package is published as well.

10. Push the tag (and any commits) to GitHub:

    git push --tags

11. Draft the GitHub release notes referencing the matching CHANGES.rst entry and announce the release as needed.
