    What made this weird was the inconsistency between *NIX and Windows systems. On Windows the Python Launcher is used. This allows you to switch between different Python versions which are registered in the Windows Registry via PEP514 logic. Unfortunately, one of the popular implementations, PyPy, didn't have great support for it. On *NIX systems pyenv made this easy, while on Windows pyenv-win exists but it's currently not able to pull the PyPy mirrors. I wanted a more simplistic way to integrate PyPy into Windows for easy Python Launcher integration. So I started to do something really crazy: write Powershell.

    We then use pyenv which is a command line tool used to manage multiple versions of Python. This is useful if you are working on multiple projects that use different versions of Python. Check out the GitHub readme of the 'pyenv' project for more information on how to install it on your operating system. For windows check out pyenv-win or you can use venv Python's Built-in Virtual Environment.

    The problem seemed to be that powershell won't run scripts by default. https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win/issues/289 This person had the same issue as me when installing pyenv. After fixing the execution policy the windows installer ran fine. However when I run anki it crashes after a few seconds.
  • Why not tell people to “simply” use pyenv, poetry or anaconda
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jun 2023
    I've had success using pyenv on Mac and Linux. If I had to use Windows, I'd probably try pyenv-win [0].

    I have run into issues trying to use packages that were available for one platform but not another, due to native code, etc. Most of the time I could find a pure Python alternative, but not always. This can lead to using containers, which adds complexity, which is a drawback because one of the advantages of Python to me is the simplicity (assuming you have something like pyenv).

    I've used Poetry in the past, but it added enough complexity/overhead that I probably won't again.

    I've had some success putting a line in a README for an internal tool that other devs can use to pip install from a Git repo. Again, assuming you have pyenv or the like, starting from a clean venv and pip install from Git seems to be pretty straightforward.

    Perfect, that worked, thank you!

    I thought this could be solved by changing the directory to src/ and then executing that command, but this didn't work.

    This also seems to be an issue with the web app, e.g. the repository for the formatter black is only one white dot https://dep-tree-explorer.vercel.app/api?repo=https://github...

    Ruff is not only much faster, but it is also very convenient to have an all-in-one solution that replaces multiple other widely used tools: Flake8 (linter), isort (imports sorting), Black (code formatter), autoflake, many Flake8 plugins and more. And it has drop-in parity with these tools, so it is really straightforward to migrate from them to Ruff.

    1. LICENSE: This file contains information about the rights and permissions granted to users regarding the use, modification, distribution, and sharing of the software. I already had an MIT License in my project. 2. pyproject.toml: It is a configuration file typically used for specifying build requirements and backend build systems for Python projects. I was already using this file for Black code formatter configuration. 3. README.md: Used as a documentation file for your project, typically includes project overview, installation instructions and optionally, contribution instructions. 4. example_package_YOUR_USERNAME_HERE: One big change I had to face was restructuring my project, essentially packaging all files in this directory. The name of this directory should be what you want to name your package and shoud not conflict with any of the existing packages. Of course, since its a Python Package, it needs to have an __init__.py. 5. tests/: This is where you put all your unit and integration tests, I think its optional as not all projects will have tests. The rest of the project remains as is.
