Environment setup

Create a Python environment first; package installs in the next section run inside whichever environment you activate here.

Option A — Python venv (DECS machines)

python3 -m venv $ENVHOME          # e.g. /glade/u/home/gdexdata/gdexmsenv
source $ENVHOME/bin/activate

Option B — Conda (DAV/Casper)

conda create --prefix $ENVHOME python=3.12   # e.g. /glade/work/gdexdata/conda-envs/pg-gdex
conda activate $ENVHOME

Installing rda-python-dsupdt

Pick whichever install mode fits your workflow. All variants pull in the transitive dependencies (rda_python_common, rda_python_dsarch) automatically.

For local development, clone this repo alongside your project and install it in editable mode so that changes are picked up without re-installing:

git clone https://github.com/NCAR/rda-python-dsupdt.git
cd rda-python-dsupdt
pip install -e .

To test a specific branch (e.g. an in-progress feature or fix branch), pass -b/--branch to git clone:

git clone -b <branch-name> https://github.com/NCAR/rda-python-dsupdt.git
cd rda-python-dsupdt
pip install -e .

For a regular (non-editable) install from a checkout:

pip install /path/to/rda-python-dsupdt

For a production install on a system that uses the published distribution:

pip install rda_python_dsupdt

Documentation sync

The user guide at gdex-docs-dsupdt.readthedocs.io is generated from src/rda_python_dsupdt/dsupdt.usg. Keep all user-facing content in dsupdt.usg — no manual RST editing is required.

When a pull request modifying dsupdt.usg is opened, an automated workflow converts it into RST source files and the version number from this repository's pyproject.toml into the gdex-docs-dsupdt repository, then opens a pull request from automated-update-branch against its main branch for review.

To publish to Read the Docs:

  • Merge that pull request into main to serve the content as the latest version.
  • Create a GitHub release in gdex-docs-dsupdt to serve the latest release as the stable version.
