Development

Build pypi package

Tools needed to build and publish to PyPi under Windows:

python -m pip install --upgrade build
python -m pip install --upgrade twine

Tools needed to build and publish to PyPi Linux/MacOS:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade build
python3 -m pip install --upgrade twine

Build package:

In project root folder:

python -m build

Upload package to pypi:

In project root folder:

twine upload --skip-existing dist/*

Alternatively, before uploading, delete outdated build artifacts in the dist folder, such that only the latest build files are uploaded:

twine upload dist/*

Test pypi package

1. Create a test folder (e.g. tests) and cd into it.
2. Create virtual environment:
   • Windows: python -m venv .venv
   • Linux/MacOS: python3 -m venv .venv
3. Activate virtual environment:
   • Windows CMD: .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
   • Linux/MacOS: source .venv/bin/activate
4. Install package
   • Windows CMD: pip3 install cpg-scpi
   • Linux/MacOS: pip3 install cpg-scpi
