====== Development Environment and librairies ====== ===== Eclipse ===== * pydev * mylin ===== Modules ===== Please here after the typical list of addition packages I'm using.\\ Most of same are compliant with **pip** download installation mode:\\ ''pip install '' or ''\python.exe -m pip install '' * doxypypy : required for documentation generation * **pylint**: required for code quality * openxl : MS Excel & Libreoffice calc files manipulation * pyqt5 : * __py2exe__ * __rtcclient__ : optional RTC management * lxml (see below for installation) * pywin32 (see below fo installation) * unidecode (pylib) === lxml installation instructions === As on Windows download pip lxml installation may failed, use the file pip installation mode: * download the package from [[http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml|Unofficial Windows binaries]] as described by [[http://lxml.de/installation.html|lxml.de official site]].\\ * ''C:\Apps\Python36>python.exe -m pip install \lxml-3.7.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl''\\ === pywin32 installation instructions === Three install solutions are availble: - use ''pypiwin32'' a pip compliant version of pywin32 but at time I'm writing this lines only the 2.19 is available where the official package is now available in version 2.20 - download the installation package from official site [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20220/ | direct access to build 220 files]] - Install form source package = installation issue workaround = If the install package complains to not find any Python36 amd64 installation, try using the source package = installation from source package = * Download the source package, unzip it * Make sure to have latest visual studio SDK installed * Open SDK command line (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x4d2c09s.aspx) * Choose Start, expand All Programs, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Tools, and then choose a command prompt * Make sure your python installation is in PATH \\ ''SET PATH=;%PATH%'' * Run the following command from source directory:\\''C:\Apps\Python36\pywin32-220>python setup3.py -q install'' * If your experimented the following issue\\ > python setup3.pl install Converting...

It shall explain how to use the class/function, not how it has been developped. == RUL_CMT_003 Maintainer comments == Use standard comment immediatly of SocString section for developper/maintainer comments explaining design trick of a class/function. ===== Coding Rules ===== == RUL_COD_001 : Python version == Python 3.7 is the preferred Python version. If Python2 is required use Python 2.7.\\ == RUL_COD_002 == Follow the Python development guidelines described in [[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/|PEP008]] with the following adaptations == RUL_COD_003 == Use Pylint to check to compliance of your code **AND FIX ALL WARNINGS**.\\ Justification is required when you disable a checker. ==== Edition Rule ==== == RUL_WRI_001 Tab is not space== Configure your editor to replace TAB character by **4 spaces**. If your editor is not enable to replace automatically, don't use TAB or better change your editor to another one. == RUL_WRI_002 : UTF-8 (deprecated as default in Python3) == Make sure your environment is configured to use only 'UTF-8'. # -- coding:UTF-8 -- == RUL_WRI_003 : Activate future features (Python2 only) == Make your Python2 code compliant with Python3 by inserting at least : (from [[https://linuxfr.org/news/python-pour-la-rentree-2019-partie-2-48277b5e-c1a0-441e-836a-5c9536c4a8d6|Python pour la rentrée 2019 — partie 2]]) from __future__ import absolute_import from __future__ import division from __future__ import print_function from __future__ import unicode_literals from builtins import * from future import standard_library standard_library.install_aliases() == RUL_WRI_004 Indentation == Always use **4 spaces** indentation except for function arguments indentation.(see PEP008) ==== Strings ==== == RUL_STR_01 bytes storage (was: str usage) == Python2: Use ''str'' only for internal 7 bits characters string or ''bytes'' storage\\ Python3: Use only ''bytes'' for bytes storage. == RUL_STR_002 QString usage == Use ''QString'' only for Qt API functions and methods, convert results as soon as possible to ''unicode'' to be compliant for Python functions. == RUL_STR_003 Use unicode == For all other strings use ''unicode'' only strings. === Classes === == RUL_CLS_001 Forget old-style class == Python 2: Any class MUST inherit directly or indirectly from ``object``. == RUL_CLS_002 == Use ``self`` to identify instance parameter and ``cls`` for class related parameter. == RUL_CLS_003 ==
