Development Guide
Project Dependencies
Python Version
All packages in the geneweaver-* ecosystem depend on Python version 3.9 or higher.
If you need to manage multiple version of python on your development machine, we recommend using pyenv to manage your python versions.
Support for Python 3.7
It's possible that some of the packages in the geneweaver-* ecosystem will work
with Python 3.7, but this is not guaranteed, and is not tested.
Poetry
All packages in the geneweaver-* ecosystem use poetry
to manage dependencies and build packages.
The Python Poetry Documentation maintains a list of installation instructions for all major operating systems.
PyTest
All packages in the geneweaver-* ecosystem use
PyTest as their test runner.
Package Based Architecture
Package Based Architecture
The geneweaver-* ecosystem is built around the concept of a package based
architecture. This means that each package in the ecosystem is designed to be
independent of the other packages. This allows for the ecosystem to be extended
and modified without breaking the other packages.
For more information, see the Package Based Architecture page.
