  • Python libs that I wish were part of the standard library
    1 project | /r/Python | 12 May 2023
    I can't give you a stdlib, but I can give you a package with a lot of the basic functionality but still small enough that it installs quickly and has negligable overhead. The ubelt library is a set of 100ish utility functions and classes. It's similar to boltons, but I suppose it reflects a different perspective on what's useful.
  • How do you feel about vendored packages?
    3 projects | /r/Python | 29 Apr 2023
    Number 3 is the one I feel most conflicted about. Specifically, I tout my ubelt library as having 0 required dependencies. However, it vendors two libraries: progiter and orderedset. The first of which I also maintain and the second of which I don't maintain, but have contributed to. It feels odd to have a single dependency for a library that would otherwise have zero. But at the same time it feels odd to maintain that code myself. Also if I didn't vendor it, it would not be included in the documentation, so there is that. I've recently been thinking I should split ubelt up into many smaller packages and then use ubelt as a "hub" to include them all. However, that's a lot more work than just maintaining one (still quite small) package, and I think having everything broken up with incur a lot of overhead at pip install time, so I'm very conflicted on the whole subject.

    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.
