Hey Guys, I’m on Ex46 of LPTHW and I’ve installed everything , ran tests, made the module, setup file …Every Damn Thing
But I’m not able to understand what to do next…Like the book instructs to:-
Make a copy of your skeleton directory. Name it after your new project.
Rename (move) the NAME module to be the name of your project or whatever you want
to call your root module.
Edit your setup.py to have all the information for your project.
Rename tests/NAME_tests.py to also have your module name.
Double check it’s all working by using nosetests again.
Start coding.
But I’m not quite able to understand the TOP 4 COMMENTS and after this it tells to run the setup.py where am I supposed to save this file for it to work
Also in the Required Quiz part:-
3. Make a project and start putting code into the module, then get the module working.
4. Put a script in the bin directory that you can run. Read about how you can make a
Python script that’s runnable for your system.
My tip when you feel you close to going berserk is to leave it for a day.
Then come back and read your own post again. Hopefully you will see this from another view and with fresh patience give it another try
I believe I actually do all of this in the video. It might be old but should still work. Were you able to watch it?
But, can you explain what you don’t understand? Like, do you not know how to make a copy of a directory? Where the files are? Are you staying in your IDE/Editor or are you using the command line?
1) Can you please help me with the link of the video your referring to.
2) I burnt some midnight oil on the same day I asked this question and got through the entire copying skeleton and setup.py thing
But I am still unable to grasp what these points mean :-
Make a project and start putting code into the module, then get the module working.
Put a script in the bin directory that you can run. Read about how you can make a
Python script that’s runnable for your system
( I still get a little something of the third point but the 4th point goes straight above above my head )
Ona diffrent note Zed, as this is my first time getting a comment from you on my topic, I’d like to THANK YOU for publishing this book .It has really helped a Great Deal
Hey everyone. Not sure if I am in right spot. On exercise 46 the nose test does not work. Using python 3.8 on Mac. It runs with zero test. I tried pytest and got massive errors in return. Do I need to create a file that imports pytest first like the book said to as we did nose.
@Michael, can you do me a big favor and start a new thread asking about how to do a PyTest setup? I’m super busy but if you start a thread on it, then I can write up how to convert from nose to pytest.
Just “paying back” for what I’ve learnt. I wouldn’t be able to do much of the stuff I can do today if I hadn’t come across your books. And it’s nice to see that I can actually help people now.
Hello Merlin687!
I am stuck at the same problem right now.
Can you please provide me with the link of the video you are talking about?
Thank you in advance.
