Build notes

• local validation

Testing the command line interface requires the package to be installed. You can build the local distribution:

# Create distribution
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

That can then be installed using pip. The --no-index and --find-links options stop pip from using the web package index and point to the local distribution. The --no-cache-dir is vital as pip will cache the installed package (probably in /tmp/) and unless the version number changes will just keep using that cache. So, in development, this flag is needed to keep pip using the actual local distribution and not the outdated cached version.

pip install safedata_validator --no-cache-dir --no-index --find-links dist/safedata_validator-2.0.0a0.tar.gz
