A one-liner phrase describing this project or app

About

What is this project about. Ok to enrich here or the section above it with an image.

Once this repo has been setup on Codacy by the TTL, replace the above badge with the actual one from the Codacy dashboard, and add the code coverage badge as well. This is mandatory

This is a simple python starter repo template for setting up your project. The setup contains:

• install: poetry via pip. poetry is a dependecy manager.

• poetry: configuration in pyproject.toml

• flake8: for linting and formatting

Why

Talk about what problem this solves, what SDG(s) and SGD targets it addresses and why these are important

Usage

How would someone use what you have built, include URLs to the deployed app, service e.t.c when you have it setup

Setup

You should have Python 3.5+ and git installed.

1. Clone the repo you've created from the template herein and change into the directory

   git clone <Your Repository>

2. Change into repo directory

   cd python-starter

3. Install poetry, a dependecy manager for python.

   On windows, you will need powershell to install it:

   (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python

   After that you will need to restart the shell to make it operational.

    

   On linux and other posix systems (mac included):

   curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python

    

   To check that it is correctly installed, you can check the version: poetry --version

   May be the latest stable version is not installed with the installation script, to update poetry, you can run:

   poetry self update

4. With poetry installed, you should install project dependecies by running:

   poetry install

   This will install pytest for running tests and flake8, linter for your project.

To Note

src/app.py is the entry to the project and source code should go into the src folder.

All tests should be written in the tests folder. tests/test_src.py is a sample test file that shows how tests should like. Feel free to delete it.

Hints

• Lint: poetry run flake8
• Run tests using the command: poetry run pytest
• Install dependencies: poetry add <dependency>
• Install dev dependencies: poetry add --dev <dev-dependency>
• Run your project: poetry run app

If this project sounds interesting to you and you'd like to contribute, thank you! First, you can send a mail to buildforsdg@andela.com to indicate your interest, why you'd like to support and what forms of support you can bring to the table, but here are areas we think we'd need the most help in this project :

1. area one (e.g this app is about human trafficking and you need feedback on your roadmap and feature list from the private sector / NGOs)
2. area two (e.g you want people to opt-in and try using your staging app at staging.project-name.com and report any bugs via a form)
3. area three (e.g here is the zoom link to our end-of sprint webinar, join and provide feedback as a stakeholder if you can)
