Setup Python - Professional Development Project

Professional Python development setup project with best practices.

🚀 Environment Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• pyenv (recommended)

Installation

1. Clone the repository (if applicable)

git clone <your-repository>
cd setup_python

2. Create virtual environment

python3 -m venv .venv

3. Activate virtual environment

source .venv/bin/activate

4. Install dependencies

# Production dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Development dependencies
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

5. Setup pre-commit hooks

pre-commit install

🧪 Testing

Run tests with:

pytest

With code coverage:

pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html

🎨 Formatting and Linting

Auto-format code:

black .

Check style issues:

flake8 src tests

Static analysis with pylint:

pylint src

Type checking with mypy:

mypy src

🔧 Best Practices

1. Always activate virtual environment before working
2. Run tests before committing
3. Use pre-commit hooks to ensure code quality
4. Document your functions with docstrings
5. Keep requirements.txt updated

📝 Development

To add new dependencies:

pip install <package>
pip freeze > requirements.txt
