Internal dev notes

Recommended pipeline

• Install miniconda
• Create new environment for this package, for example conda create --name poseidon-dev python.
• To install the package for local testing: pip install -e . You can then fire up the python interpreter via python and load the module via import poseidon-tools.
• To run the tests, run pytest.

Overview of python package development: https://python-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

To test and develop yourself, I recommend using virtual environments (e.g. via conda or python -m venv) and then pip install . -e, which installs the package and runs the tests into your active environment, and creates symlinks instead of copies of files, such that changes in your repo will immediately be available.
