Outline - gslab-econ/gslab_python GitHub Wiki

Improvements

• Consider adding functionality to print SCons tree in state_of_repo logger (see here).
• Create tool/emitter to specify raw data downloads as sources 'dynamically' (see here).
• See if there is a way to force scons to rebuild a target if that target has been modified (see here).
• Address potential problems in gslab_scons raised during a testing review.
• Consider adding integration tests for gslab_scons builders. Be mindful of Windows-specific issues.
• We should use ZIP 64 compression in the release script. Found in gslab-econ/congress_text#177.
• Allow users to turn off size warnings for certain files (see here).
• Skip implicit command dependencies in LyX scanner when they're in a note.
• Edit gslab_scons.build_matlab() to fix its incompatibility with scons parallelization (see here).
• Add functionality to reconfigure user's cache (see here).
• Refactor logging machinery as a Python decorator instead of repeated code from builder to builder.

External testing

• Include Tobias Schmidt (postdoc of Susan Athey) in next round of review.
