No project description provided

twat

A plugin-based Python package system that provides a unified interface for various utilities.

Features

• Plugin system for Python packages with standardized interfaces
• Dynamic plugin loading and discovery
• Modern Python packaging with PEP 621 compliance
• Type hints and runtime type checking
• Comprehensive test suite and documentation
• CI/CD ready configuration

Installation

pip install twat

Usage

As a Library

import twat

# Load a plugin
fs = twat.fs  # Loads the twat-fs plugin

# List available plugins
from importlib.metadata import entry_points
plugins = entry_points(group="twat.plugins")

Command Line

# Run a plugin through the twat command
twat fs --help

# Or run the plugin directly if it provides a CLI
twat-fs --help

Plugin Development Guide

To create a new plugin for the twat system, follow these guidelines. We'll use the twat-fs package as an example.

1. Package Structure

twat-yourplugin/
├── src/
│   └── twat_yourplugin/
│       ├── __init__.py      # Main package interface
│       ├── __main__.py      # CLI entry point
│       └── core.py          # Core functionality
├── tests/
├── pyproject.toml           # Package configuration
├── README.md
└── LICENSE

2. Package Configuration

Your pyproject.toml should include:

[project]
name = "twat-yourplugin"  # Use hyphen in package name
dependencies = [
    "twat",               # Always include the main package
    # Your other dependencies
]

[project.scripts]
twat-yourplugin = "twat_yourplugin.__main__:main"  # Optional CLI

[project.entry-points."twat.plugins"]
yourplugin = "twat_yourplugin"  # Register as a twat plugin

3. Package Interface

Your __init__.py should expose a clean public API:

# this_file: src/twat_yourplugin/__init__.py
"""Package description."""

from importlib import metadata

__version__ = metadata.version(__name__)

# Export your public API
from .core import main_function, OtherClass

__all__ = ["main_function", "OtherClass"]

4. CLI Support (Optional)

If your plugin provides a command-line interface:

# this_file: src/twat_yourplugin/__main__.py
"""Command-line interface."""

import sys
from typing import NoReturn

def main() -> NoReturn:
    """CLI entry point."""
    # Your CLI implementation
    sys.exit(0)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

5. Example Implementation

Here's a minimal example based on twat-fs:

# src/twat_yourplugin/__init__.py
"""Your plugin description."""

from importlib import metadata
from .core import upload_file, ProviderType

__version__ = metadata.version(__name__)
__all__ = ["upload_file", "ProviderType"]

# src/twat_yourplugin/__main__.py
"""CLI interface."""

import sys
from typing import NoReturn
import fire
from loguru import logger

from .core import upload_file

def main() -> NoReturn:
    """CLI entry point."""
    try:
        fire.Fire({
            "upload": upload_file,
            # other commands...
        })
        sys.exit(0)
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"Error: {e}")
        sys.exit(1)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

6. Best Practices

1. Naming:

   • Package name: twat-yourplugin (with hyphen)
   • Import name: twat_yourplugin (with underscore)
   • Plugin entry point: yourplugin (no prefix)

2. Dependencies:

   • Always include twat as a dependency
   • Use optional dependencies for provider-specific features
   • Include development tools in dev extra

3. Documentation:

   • Include docstrings for all public APIs
   • Provide a comprehensive README
   • Include usage examples

4. Testing:

   • Write unit tests for core functionality
   • Include integration tests if applicable
   • Test both Python API and CLI interface

5. Type Hints:

   • Use type hints throughout your code
   • Support Python 3.10+
   • Follow PEP 484 and PEP 585

7. Development Workflow

# Create development environment
pip install hatch
hatch shell

# Install in development mode
pip install -e '.[dev,test]'

# Run tests
hatch run test
hatch run test-cov

# Run linting
hatch run lint

# Format code
hatch run format
