  • i use interrogate

    Which has a fun bug. Uses ast to compile every module. If a module contains a compile error, get a traceback showing only the one line that contains the issue, but not the module path nor the line #

    The only way to find the issue is to just test your code base and ignore interrogate until code base is more mature.

    interrogate author and maintainers: UX … what’s that?

    The most obvious bug in the history of bugs … setuptools maintainers, oh that's a feature request












  • Viva la package dependencies!

    Does it do away with setuptools? After my experience interacting with the maintainers, now refer to that package as, The Deep State

    The Deep State only supports loading dependencies from pypi.org Which has many advantages right up until it doesn’t.

    This new standard contains dependency host url. Hope there is a package other than setuptools that supports it.

    When bring it up, and prove it, the responses alternate between playing dumb and gaslighting. The truth is The Deep State are gate keepers. And they are in the way.

    Training wheels off mode please! So there is support for requirements files that contain on which server dependencies are hosted with more than one choice. Would like the option to host packages locally or remotely using pypiserver or equivalent.

    On the positive side, setuptool maintainers did not suggest voodoo dolls, try to wait out the planetary alignment, better economic conditions, or peace on Earth.

    That’s how the conversation comes off to my eyes. But form your own opinion. Especially enjoyable for folks who also enjoyed the TV series, The Office.

    What are the alternatives to being stonewalled by setuptools?

    Disclosure: Wrote requirements rendering package, wreck. I have my own voodoo dolls and plenty of pins


  • User friendly LOL!

    If you encounter any issues or bugs, let me know so I can fix them!

    You shoulda lead with that. I love the humor. Can’t stop laughing,

    The entire project is a bug LOL!

    Where to start?

    1. There is no packaging at all

    Start with a pyproject.toml and work from there.

    1. no tests

    Everything is a bug until it’s got test coverage.

    1. screenshots

    In the .github folder?! That’s gotta be a 1st

    1. no dev environment

    Expecting pre-commit as well as isort, flask, black, and mypy

    1. print statements galore

    Looked into requirements.txt expecting to find a console UI framework. There is none!

    A pattern has emerged that many Python coders have spent not enough to no time learning packaging, dev toolchain, and CI/CD publishing. When asking folks to test your work they’ll be expecting a published package, not a series of amateurish scripts and a bash install script.

    Should write an advertisement

    Please someone skilled at console UI and packaging please please please help in a paid position.

    Can confidently say, you need help.

    Not writing more features the OP is good at that. Just packaging and swapping out the prehistoric console UI with a modern console UI framework.
