Weather Data Project

Project Overview

This project demonstrates a professional Python workflow for reading and writing weather data from CSV files. The code is documented and follows Pythonic style standards. The project is packaged as a module for easy import and reuse.

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository

   • git clone https://github.com/ParadoxiusBlack/Python-Professional-Programming-Environment.git
   • cd

2. Set up a virtual environment

   • python -m venv venv
   • source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install build tools

   • pip install setuptools wheel

4. Build the package

   • python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

5. (Optional) Install Twine for publishing

   • pip install twine

6. Install the package locally

   • pip install dist/WeatherDataProject-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
   • (Replace the wheel filename with the actual version generated.)

Usage

After installation, you can import the module in your Python code: from PythonApplication1 import read_weather_data, write_weather_data data = read_weather_data("Weather Data/Weather Test Data.csv") write_weather_data("Weather Data/Weather Test Data Copy.csv", data)

Dependencies

• Python standard library modules: csv, typing
• Packaging tools: setuptools, wheel, twine (for publishing)

Documentation

• All functions are documented with Python docstrings.
• To generate HTML documentation: python -m pydoc -w PythonApplication1

Source Control

• This project uses Git for version control.
• .gitignore is set up to exclude virtual environments and temporary files.

Running the Main Functionality

You can run the main functionality in two ways:

1. Directly with Python: python demo.py
2. As a Console Command (after installing the package): weatherdemo

Both methods will load your weather data, display the number of records, and print descriptive statistics for each dataset in a readable format.Directly with Python:

python demo.py
