Local development

• Python 3
• PyEnv or VirtualEnv
• just
• Rust toolchain

Setup your virtual environment using the tool of your choice, e.g. VirtualEnv:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Install the build tools:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Now build the Rust module and include opt-in additional dev dependencies:

maturin dev -E test,lint

You usually need to build the Rust module only once, but you might need to rebuild it on pulls.

For linting and testing:

just verify

Releasing the package

Pull latest main:

git checkout main && git pull

Update module version in Cargo.toml and run a local build to update the Cargo.lock too, commit it. Then push tag, e.g.:

git tag -m "Release v0.1.0" v0.1.0
git push origin v0.1.0
