The project uses pyproject.toml to manage its dependencies and build configuration.
This allows for consistent package management across different environments.
In addition, the project utilizes a Justfile to define command recipes
for convenience and repeatability.
This helps to automate common development tasks and ensures
consistency in the project's workflow.

Essential packages can go in your default Python installation (rather then each .venv).
python --version
python -m pip install --upgrade pip build setuptools wheel
python -m pip install --upgrade ipykernel jupyterlab
python -m pip install --upgrade panel hvplot
python -m pip install --upgrade black ruff
python -m pip install --upgrade pyright
python -m venv .venvWhen VS Code Python Extension offers to select the Environment, say Yes.
When starting a new session, you'll need to activate the virtual environment.
- Activate it in PowerShell:
.venv\Scripts\Activate - Activate it in macOS/Linux Terminal:
source .venv/bin/ - To deactivate it, run
deactivate.
Install dependencies from pyproject.toml. The -e flag installs in editable mode. Editable mode allows making changes to the source code and having those changes reflected in the installed package without having to reinstall the package.
python -m pip install --upgrade pip build setuptools wheel
python -m pip install --upgrade panel panel[pyodide] hvplot
python -m pip install -e .[dev]Either one of these will work.
cd src/freezetracker

Default Python 3.11 paths on Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Python311\python.exe
- C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe
The official Python installer for Windows has a default installation location in AppData to ensure each user on the machine has their own Python to customize without affecting other users. If you did not change the installation location during Python installation, it's likely that Python installed in the default location.
python -m pip install ensures that pip is installed
and executed within the context of the same Python installation
that is being used to run the command.
It helps avoid conflicts with multiple versions of
Python or pip on a system.
python -m pip install -e . installs the package(s) in
editable mode or "development mode".
This creates a symbolic link to the source code directory in your
Python installation's site-packages directory, rather than copying files
into the site-packages directory.
pip install --upgrade build is used to upgrade the Python package build,
which is a package that provides support for building and
distributing Python packages.
