python-table

Because even Python programmers deserve nice things

Installing Python 3.7.2 on Debian 9

Source: https://tecadmin.net/install-python-3-7-on-ubuntu-linuxmint/

sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev libffi-dev
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.2/Python-3.7.2.tar.xz
tar xvJf Python-3.7.2.tar.xz
cd Python-3.7.2/
./configure --enable-optimizations
sudo make altinstall

Establishing a development environment

Follow these steps to create a development environment for python-table:

cd ~/projects
git clone git@github.com:blinkdog/python-table.git
cd python-table
python3.7 -m venv ./env
source env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

Updating requirements.txt after a pip install

If you install a new package using pip install cool-pkg-here then be sure to update the requirements.txt file in the project with the following command:

pip freeze --all >requirements.txt

Helper script

There is a helper script snake that defines some common project tasks.

Try one of the following tasks:

snake clean                # Remove build cruft
snake coverage             # Perform coverage analysis
snake dist                 # Create a distribution tarball and wheel
snake lint                 # Run static analysis tools
snake rebuild              # Rebuild the module

The task rebuild doesn't really build (no need to compile Python), but it does run the unit tests.

Bumping to the next version

If you need to increase the version number of the project, don't forget to edit the following:
