I have automated my process to create virtual environments in my python projects, here is how I did it. I’ve really been digging my new tmux session management setup. Now I have leveled it up by adding direnv to my workflow. It will execute a shell script whenever I cd into a directory. One thing I wanted to add to this was, automatic activation of python environments whenever I cd into a directory, or create a new environment if one does not exist. https://waylonwalker.com/tmux-nav-2021/ Direnv # You can learn more about direnv on their website. There are several libraries that seem to do a similar concept, run a bash script when I cd into a directory direnv is the one that I chose to use, but you can likely do the same concept in other ones. Installation # direnv is in many package repos, or can be installed from binary builds with a one liner. See their installation instructions for more information..envrc # direnv works by executing the contents of known safe files. Here are some o…

I have started doing more regular PR’s on my teams Kedro pipelines. I generally take a two phase approach to the review in order to give the reviewee both quick and detailed feedback. What is Kedro initial scan (Phase1) # passing ci Variable Names Antipatterns No commented out code Docsttrings generally make sense Phase1 is typically a quick scan over the PR right within the PR window in my browser. Passing CI # flake8 black isort interrogate pytest build The very first thing that needs to happen is automated CI. We use things like flake8, black, isort, interrogate to ensure that everyone follows generic style guides like pep8. The project does a build within the PR, but no deploy. Variable Names # I strugle really hard to not impose my own opinion into the PR at this point, and sometimes really want to change a lot of variable names. Typically I make sure they don’t grow longer than necessary, too short, misspelled, or inconsistent. I make sure that I can follow the flow without getti…

pytest has open sourced their amazing plugin framework, it allows library authors to give their users a way to modify the libaries behavior without needing to submit a change that may not make sense to the entire library. Previous Experience # My experience so far as a plugin user, and plugin author has been great. Building and using plugins are incredibly intuitive. I wanted to dive a bit deeper and see how they are implemented inside of a library and its a bit of a mind bend the first time you try to do it. Plugins vs. Hooks # A hook is a single function that has a specific place that it is ran by the PluginManager. A Plugin is a collection of one or more hooks. Layers # library author plugin author end user Using a plugin # For a plugin to be registered is must be registered by the PluginManager which is implemented by the library author. It is the job of the library author to determine what plugins are actively registered or disabled. There are two common ways that I have seen that…

There are various ways to configure python tools, config files, code, or environment variables. Let’s look at a few projects that allow users to configure them through the use of config files and how they do it. Motivation # This will not include how they are implemented, I’ve looked at a few and its not simple. This will focus on where config is placed and the order in which duplicates are resolved. The motivation of this article is to serve as a bit of a reference guide for those who may want to create their own package that needs configuration. Flake8 # Global # User settings can exist in the users file to configure how flake8 runs on their machine. Per-Project # Only One project config file will be considered, but allows for several options. These files all use the format and must have a section header to be consideered. Selection of the config file can also be overridden by the cli option. An extra config file may be selected as. It will be read in last and take highest precedence…

Nesting loops inside of each other in python makes for much harder code to understand, it takes more brain power to understand, and is thus more error prone than if its avoidable. One issue with this complexity is that toy examples may make sense, but most real example will grow and become more deeply nested over time. Avoiding this complexity from the start can help simplify the project in the future. setup # Lets take a pretty simple example where we are using a ficticious library to get some sales data for our transportation company. The api allows us to fetch teh sales data for one class of vehicle and one region at a time. ❌ Nesting Loops # We have setup to fetch our data with two lists that represent the vehicles and regions that we want to analyze. We know that we need to make a call to for every vehicle and region so nesting loops is a very common first solution to jump to. itertools.product # Python provides us with the beautiful itertools module that allows us to prepare our…
