Setup

This project uses a Dev Container (via VS Code) and uv for fast, reliable Python dependency management.

Launch the Dev Container

1. Clone the project in VS Code.

2. In VS Code, open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and run:

   Dev Containers: Reopen in Container
   

   This will build the container if needed and connect you to the development environment.

Setting up the Template

To setup the template

• Re-name the my_project folder to your_project_name
• Update references in pyproject.toml, including the project name, description, and python.analysis.include
• Update path of imports in tests/import_test.py and examples/example.py
• Update details in docs/source/conf.py
• Update details in docs/source/index.rst
• Update the GitHub workflow step to Build Sphinx documentation in .github/workflows/deploy.yml, and the link to docs in README.md
• Update python.analysis.include in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json

Dependency Management

This project uses uv for dependency management. To add a package, use the following commands:

uv add <package-name>
uv add --dev <package-name>

This adds the package to pyproject.toml and updates the lockfile, where --dev adds it to the development dependencies. To install these dependencies, use:

# All dependencies
uv sync --all-extras
# Exclude dev dependencies
uv sync

Spell checker, Linter, Type Checker and Test Runner

This project sets up tools for spell checking, linting, type checking, and testing, which are automatically run in Github Actions on push and pull requests. To run these tools locally, use the following commands:

# Linting and formatting
ruff check .# Type checking
ty check .# Testing
pytest
# Spell checking
cspell .

To add words to the spell checker's dictionary, add them to the .vscode/cspell.json file under the words or ignoreWords section.
