Python Package management​

This python package is managed using a pyproject.toml file.

Standardisation of installing and testing the python package is handled through tox. Tox commands include:

# Run all standard tox actions
tox
# Run linting only
tox -e style
# Run tests only
tox -e test

Dependency management​

Dependencies are managed in the pyproject.toml and debian.txt file.

Version pinning is achieved using the uv.lock file.

To add new dependencies it's recommended to use uv with the command uv add <new-package> or for a dev package uv add --dev <new-dev-package>

The tool used for linting and managing styling is ruff and it is configured via pyproject.toml

The debian.txt file manages the debian dependencies that need to be installed on development systems and docker images.

Sometimes the debian.txt file is insufficient and in this case the Dockerfile may need to be modified directly to install complex dependencies.
