  • Enhance Your Project Quality with These Top Python Libraries

    Pyright is a fast type checker meant for large Python source bases. It can run in a “watch” mode and performs fast incremental updates when files are modified.
  • How to speed up Pyright + eglot.
    1 project | /r/emacs | 11 Nov 2023
    However, I made it faster for my use-case by changing some settings. Neovim allows to have these settings in the setup function for LSP. I was trying to figure out how do I change these settings with doom emacs. Pyright docs suggest to have these settings in pyrightconfig.json.

  • How do you enable semantic highlighting for Python?
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Jul 2023
    Unfortunately, pyright explicitly stated that they are not interested in inlay hints or other language server features, that those will only be added to pylance. That's why I added it myself instead of submitting a pull request to pyright. See https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/issues/4325

    I don't use astro, but you can configure pyright by using a pyrightconfig.json or directly in the LSP configuration.

    I prefer jedi over pyright as pyright has crippled documentation support outside of VSCode. I also found jedi is make correct suggestions based on inferred type in some situations where pyright would need type annotation to provide completions, pyright is significantly faster though. Jedi with mypy and flake8 is comparable to pyright I think, but unfortunately mypy wasn't working over tramp. Also isort wasn't working over tramp, but jedi, black, importmagic and flake8 all worked.

  • Understanding Dependencies in Programming
    4 projects | dev.to | 14 Apr 2024
    You can manage dependencies in Python with the package manager pip, which comes pre-installed with Python. Pip allows you to install and uninstall Python packages, and it uses a requirements.txt file to keep track of which packages your project depends on. However, pip does not have robust dependency resolution features or isolate dependencies for different projects; this is where tools like pipenv and poetry come in. These tools create a virtual environment for each project, separating the project's dependencies from the system-wide Python environment and other projects.

  • Boring Python: dependency management (2022)
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Feb 2024
    Based on this comment 5 days ago[0], it's working? I'm not sure didn't dig in too far but based on that comment it seems fair to say that it's not fully Poetry's fault because torch removed hashes (which poetry needs to be effective) for a while only recently adding it back in.

    Not sure where I would stand if I fully investigated it tho.

  • Fun with Avatars: Crafting the core engine | Part. 1

    We will be running this project in Python 3.10 on Mac/Linux, and we will use Poetry to manage our dependencies. Later, we will bundle our app into a container using docker for deployment.
  • Python Packaging, One Year Later: A Look Back at 2023 in Python Packaging
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Jan 2024
    Here are the two main packaging issues I run into, specifically when using Poetry:

    1) Lack of support for building extension modules (as mentioned by the article). There is a workaround using an undocumented feature [0], which I've tried, but ultimately decided it was not the right approach. I still use Poetry, but build the extension as a separate step in CI, rather than kludging it into Poetry.

    2) Lack of support for offline installs [1], e.g. being able to download the dependencies, copy them to another machine, and perform the install from the downloaded dependencies (similar to using "pip --no-index --find-links=."). Again, you can work around this (by using "poetry export --with-credentials" and "pip download" for fetching the dependencies, then firing up pypiserver [2] to run a local PyPI server on the offline machine), but ideally this would all be a first class feature of Poetry, similar to how it is in pip.

    I don't have the capacity to create Pull Requests for addressing these issues with Poetry, and I'm very grateful for the maintainers and those who do contribute. Instead, on the linked issues I share my notes on the matter, in the hope that it may at least help others and potentially get us closer to a solution.

    Regardless, I'm sticking with Poetry for now. Though to be fair, the only other Python packaging tools I've used extensively are Pipenv and pip/setuptools. It's time consuming to thoroughly try out these other packaging tools, and is generally lower priority than developing features/fixing bugs, so it's helpful to read about the author's experience with these other tools, such as PDM and Hatch.

  • Introducing Flama for Robust Machine Learning APIs
    11 projects | dev.to | 18 Dec 2023
    We believe that poetry is currently the best tool for this purpose, besides of being the most popular one at the moment. This is why we will use poetry to manage the dependencies of our project throughout this series of posts. Poetry allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on, and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Poetry also allows you to package your project into a distributable format and publish it to a repository, such as PyPI. We strongly recommend you to learn more about this tool by reading the official documentation.
  • How do you resolve dependency conflicts?
    1 project | /r/learnpython | 10 Dec 2023
    I started using poetry. The problem is poetry will not install if there is dependency conflict and there is no way to ignore: github
