This is the Python serd module, which provides bindings for Serd,
a lightweight C library for working with RDF data in Turtle,
NTriples, NQuads, and TriG formats.
Building this package requires serd to be installed.
Specifically, pkg-config must be able to find serd-1:
pkg-config --modversion serd-1
Note that if serd is installed to a non-standard prefix,
you will need to configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH in your environment.
See the guide to pkg-config for more information.
The pip packages wheel, cython, and sphinx are required for building:
pip install wheel cython sphinx
A meson configuration is included that can fetch and build serd as a submodule, and build these bindings against that library, but this is intended for development and its use is unsupported.
This package can be installed with pip:
cd path_to_python_serd_source
pip install .
By default, this will install locally for your user only.
For other possibilities, consult the pip documentation.
Note that the generated C sources are not stored in git.
To build from a git clone, CYTHONIZE must be enabled in the environment:
CYTHONIZE=1 pip install .
The latest API reference documentation is available online:
Development targets can be built using setup.py directly.
CYTHONIZE=1 python setup.py build
The documentation can be built with the build_sphinx command:
python setup.py build_sphinx
The unit tests and doctests can be run with the test and doctest commands, respectively:
python setup.py test doctest
The generated documentation can then be found in build/sphinx.
