Installation

Installation of package for use can be done by:

• to install using PyPI: pip3 install --user simpleods
• to install package from GitHub downloaded ZIP file execute: pip3 install --user -I file:simpleods-master.zip
• to install package directly from GitHub execute: pip3 install --user -I git+https://github.com/anetczuk/simpleods.git
• installation from local repository root directory: pip3 install --user .

To uninstall run: pip3 uninstall simpleods

To install project under virtual environment use tools/installvenv.sh.

Development installation is covered in Development section.

Development

Project contains several tools and features that facilitate development and maintenance of the project.

In case of pull requests please run process-all.sh --release before the request to check installation, run tests and perform source code static analysis.

Installation

Installation for development with configuration of virtual environment:

• tools/installvenv.sh --dev to install dependencies, the package in editable mode and install development tooling.

Installation for development without venv:

• src/install-app.sh --dev to install dependencies, the package in editable mode and install development tooling.

Virtual environment can be also configured manually by:

• python3 -m venv .venv
• source .venv/bin/activate
• python -m pip install --upgrade pip
• src/install-app.sh --dev to install dependencies, the package in editable mode and install development tooling or python -m pip install -e '.[dev]' to install project by hand.

There is also possibility to work on the project without installation. In this case project will run from local repository directory. This configuration requires installation of dependencies: ./src/install-deps.sh --dev.

Running tests

To run tests execute src/testtestsimpleods/runtests.py. Code coverage can be achieved using coverage.sh and profiling can be calculated with script profiler.sh.

Tools scripts

In tools directory there can be found following helper scripts:

• codecheck.sh -- static code check using several tools with defined set of rules
• doccheck.sh -- run pydocstyle with defined configuration
• mdcheck.sh -- check links in Markdown files
• typecheck.sh -- run mypy with defined configuration
• checkall.sh -- execute check scripts all at once
• profiler.sh -- profile Python scripts
• coverage.sh -- measure code coverate
• `notrailingwhitespaces.sh* -- as name states removes trailing whitespaces from .py files
• rmpyc.sh -- remove all *.pyc files

Those scripts can be run also from within virtual environment.
