Description

This workshop will introduce the principles and tools needed for python package development and focus specifically on how to contribute code to the Finesse package.

I want to touch the following topics briefly, since not everyone will have the same level of experience:

  • Choosing Editor/IDE
  • Python package structure
  • Python/conda Environment
  • Git commands
  • Installing a python package in development mode
  • Gitlab merge requests and pipelines

 

Afterwards I will go into more detail on Finesse specifics

  • Tour of the Finesse repository
  • Compiling Cython extensions
  • Writing Finesse documentation


In preparation of the workshop it would be most efficient if you try to follow the steps for setting up a development environment in advance. This would also be a good moment to provide some feedback on this part of the documentation.

Lastly I think it would be the most fun if you try to come with some small change that you would like to make to Finesse, like updating a documentation page or adding a small utility function, so you have a goal for the workshop.
