A high-level overview of how the documentation is organized organized will help you know where to look for certain things:

• The Technical Reference documents APIs and other aspects of the machinery. This documentation describes how to use the classes and functions at a lower level and assume that you have a good high-level understanding of the software.

pip install sigstickers

Head to https://pypi.org/project/sigstickers/ for more info

This program has been written for Python versions 3.8 - 3.11 and has been tested with both 3.8 and 3.11

choco install python

To install Python, go to https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ and download the latest version.

sudo apt install python3.x

sudo dnf install python3.x

brew install python@3.x

To install Python, go to https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/ and download the latest version.

• Module py -3.x -m [module] or [module] (if module installs a script)

• File py -3.x [file] or ./[file]

• Module python3.x -m [module] or [module] (if module installs a script)

• File python3.x [file] or ./[file]

This project uses https://github.com/FHPythonUtils/FHMake to automate most of the building. This command generates the documentation, updates the requirements.txt and builds the library artefacts

Note the functionality provided by fhmake can be approximated by the following

handsdown  --cleanup -o documentation/reference
poetry export -f requirements.txt --output requirements.txt
poetry export -f requirements.txt --with dev --output requirements_optional.txt
poetry build

fhmake audit can be run to perform additional checks

For testing with the version of python used by poetry use

poetry run pytest

Alternatively use tox to run tests over python 3.8 - 3.11
