yootils 0.2.3

Stuff I often need.

yootils

Stuff I often need. Also born out of work at the NYT.

Usage

This package is available on PyPI. Run

pip install yootils

to install utilities without any extra external dependencies. To install utilities that require external dependencies, such as those for GCP authentication, inside yootils/google, add an extra, e.g.,

pip install 'yootils[google]'

See all available extras in pyproject.toml.

Development

This project uses uv to manage Python dependencies.

Frequently used commands or groups of commands are defined as Makefile recipes. Run make help to see a list of available recipes.

Setting up system dependencies

Run direnv allow to enable direnv for this project, if you haven't already.

Edit the list of system dependencies in shell.nix. When you're ready, cd again into the project directory. All system dependencies will be installed in a sealed environment specific to your project. This environment will unload if you cd out of the project directory, and reload if you cd back in. Any changes you make to shell.nix, including adding or removing dependencies from the declared packages list automatically sync to your environment every time you hit Enter on the command line.

The Nix package repository is a good place to search for packages you can install (use the unstable channel). If a package isn't available, you can try building it from scratch directly within shell.nix. Here's an example of how to install Vespa

let
    nixpkgs = fetchTarball "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tarball/nixos-unstable";
    pkgs = import nixpkgs { 
        config = {
            allowUnfree = true;
        }; 
        overlays = []; 
    };
    
    # Install vespa-cli from source since it isn't available on nixpkgs
    # Then you can reference vespa-cli below
    vespa-cli = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
        name = "vespa-cli";
        version = "8.489.59";
        src = pkgs.fetchurl {
            url = "https://github.com/vespa-engine/vespa/releases/download/v8.489.59/vespa-cli_8.489.59_darwin_arm64.tar.gz";
            sha256 = "sha256-lyRR50CTi4eBYz5zhfFfp/lhFHonb2ruVUOsnJaKaHo=";
        };
        unpackPhase = "tar -xzf $src";
        installPhase = ''
            mkdir -p $out/bin
            cp vespa-cli_8.489.59_darwin_arm64/bin/vespa $out/bin/vespa
        '';
        buildPhase = " : "; # No build needed, it's precompiled
    };
in
pkgs.mkShellNoCC {
    packages = with pkgs; [
        vespa-cli # References the vespa-cli derivation created above
    ];
}

Setting up project dependencies

It's literally as easy as

make install

Running tests

Run

make test

to run all unit and (if available) integration tests.

Code formatting

Applies to Python and (if applicable) Terraform code.

make format

We use Ruff as the formatter for Python. Rules are specified in pyproject.toml.

Code linting

Here, "linting" refers to the process of static-type checking in Python and (if applicable) validation of Terraform configurations.

make lint

We use Pyright as the Python static type checker. Rules are also specified in pyproject.toml.

Deployment

This package is automatically deployed to PyPI when pull request to the main branch is merged and the version number is bumped, via GitHub Actions.
