Setting up development environment

This Python project is fully managed using the Poetry dependency manager.

You need at least:

• Python 3.9+
• Poetry

Install all packages, including all development requirements:

poetry install

Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all necessary pip packages, to enter or exit the venv run the following commands:

poetry shell
exit

Setup the pre-commit check, you must run this inside the virtual environment:

pre-commit install

Now you're all set to get started!

As this repository uses the pre-commit framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. You can run all checks and tests manually using the following command:

poetry run pre-commit run --all-files

To run just the Python tests:

poetry run pytest
