My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/Py

• My Python Dev Preferences

  • mise to manage python version and to install uv, which is my preferred Package Manager in python
    • use latest "bugfix" python version, AKA "pre-prerelease", e.g. Python 3.13 at the moment
  • deps go in pyproject.toml with uv/sync for lockfile
  • mise/Task/Files for build scripts
  • prefer Py/asyncio when possible
  • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/Py/Testing

    • Prefs for Software/Testing in Python
      • use Pytest
      • use Pytest/Fixtures
      • separate integration from unit tests by folder, for example:

        • my-package/
            my_package/
              my_module.py
            tests/
              conftest.py
              integration/
                my_package/
                  test_my_module.py
              unit/
                my_package/
                  test_my_module.py
          

  • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/Py/Static Code Analysis

    • Linting, Programming/Language/Formatter, Static Code Analysis tools
      • Ruff for both, using Py/Lib/black and Py/Lib/isort under the hood
    • Type Checking - Make heavy use of Mypy
  • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/Py/Server Side APIs

    • Server/Side APIs
      • Primary Preference is FastAPI for one-off APIs
        • Only use PostgreSQL and Alembic when absolutely necessary or explicitly requested
      • Secondary Preference is Django for bigger Monoliths, getting things done with modularity, ORM-powered migrations.
