This repo is a sandbox to try out using hatch to publish multiple related python packages from a single monorepo.

Main idea:

• have a library that contains production code
• have an auxiliary library that contains non-production code, e.g. test factories, debug helpers asf.
• version of auxiliary lib matches version of production lib
• when testing the production library, use the auxiliary library too

Structure of this repo:

• my-sandbox-lib holds the project configuration for the production library.
• my-sandbox-lib-addon holds the project configuration for the auxiliary library.
• my-sandbox-tool an arbitrary project configuration that makes use of my-sandbox-lib & my-sandbox-lib-addon. I.e. this is how other projects would typically use my-sandbox-lib & my-sandbox-lib-addon.
• src holds the source code
  • project configuration for an environment that combines all of the following
  • production library my-sandbox-lib
  • auxiliary library my-sandbox-lib-addon
  • test code tests

Typical development activity ( updating the libs with new functionality, adding bugfixes ) would involve commands from the repo root directory, like

• make reset_env to rebuild the python environment.
• make format to format sources of the libs & test code.
• make lint to lint sources of the libs & test code.
• make test to run tests on libs.

Once development is finished, the updated libs can be build & published, using

• make build_lib_package to build production library my-sandbox-lib.
• make build_lib_addon_package to build auxiliary library my-sandbox-lib-addon.
• make build_and_publish to build the libs and publish them to a PyPi repository.
