Learning log - cma-open/cmatools GitHub Wiki

Prompts and reminders of learning events during development

  • Setup and tests

    • Selected to use 'pip install -e .' for development builds and 'pip install .' for local build over the use of 'python setup.py install' and 'python setup.py develop'
    • Pip provides further functionality e.g. re uninstalling

  • Command line testing

    • Many examples of command line testing use os.system to call command line scripts
    • However generally preferable to use subprocess as a newer package that has additional functionality and deals better with varied operating systems

  • Python string formatting

    • Using f strings, as the current preferred formatter

In-progress

  • init vs namespace packages
  • setup.py vs pyproject.toml
