Versioner
Automatic Version Numbering Tool
Creating a Tool for Other Projects
How many times did you forget to change the version number before building your app? It was driving me crazy! I made this pip installable tiny tool to allow automatically adding the version number read from a txt file to cx_Freeze build (or anything using setup.py).
Uploading to Pypi
The goal was achieved! The version-hunter tool is now part of pypi’s vast number of resources and can be installed by anyone with a simple pip command.
Documentation is Important
I have learned about quality of documentation whilst working on a few open source projects during London Python Sprints. Nowadays I focus really hard on explaining how to use my code in a way understandable by anyone with clear examples of usage.
Skills Gained and Problems Solved
Create a Pip Installable Package
In this project my main goal was to learn how to create a python package which can be easily installed on any platform with a simple command line instruction.
Unit Tests & Integration Tests
I managed to create unit tests which remove dependency on any external objects or built in methods. This furthered my knowledge of more advanced mocking. There also is a set of tests which integrate file IO system and check if my code does what it should.
Creating Good Documentation
Good documentation is half of the success of any project. I have learned that the hard way when trying to understand certain other libraries. My goal from now on is to document everything the way I would like to find it myself.
