There are many things in python programming that is conceptually not very hard, but requires practices. This is a simple example package for me to practice those. You can check each step of the development by checking out the commits. Below is the list of the concepts I practiced. I'll update the list as this package grows.
- Distribution of a python package
- Parallelization
- Developing a command line tool
- General python programming
- Developing a python package using git
As the first practice, I used setuptools to distribute my package. Now installation can be
easily done by typing
$ git clone https://github.com/yongkuk/example_pkg
$ cd example_pkg
$ pip install .
Next, I implemented parallel execution of tasks using the concurrent.futures module.
The program tests if the numbers given in presets/default.cfg
are prime or not. You can choose between ThreadPoolExecutor and ProcessPoolExecutor by
setting the option --mode as either process or thread.
$ example_pkg --mode process -p 4 --quiet
Parallel mode : process
