How to set up your development environment

You need Python 3.8+.

To install the project in editable mode:

$ pip install -e .

You can now run an interactive Python session, or the command-line interface:

$ python
>>> import protosym

How to test the project

Run the full test suite:

$ pip install nox
$ nox

List the available Nox sessions:

$ nox --list-sessions

You can also run a specific Nox session. For example, invoke the unit test suite like this:

Unit tests are located in the tests directory, and are written using the pytest testing framework.

For development work it is more convenient to install the development dependencies and run the quicktest.sh script:

$ pip install -e .
$ ./quicktest.sh

See the quicktest.sh script for how to run individual commands.
