Question regarding import for pkgs #7615

AnirudhG07 commented 1 day ago

Hi, thanks for the amazing tool uv. I am making a python package bept for some project. I am new to python packages and I wanted to know that in my src/bept/main.py, I am using bept.something.somefile, but is there a way i can do src.bept.something, that way I would be able to access some files outside of src. (or is there any other way for it? main goal: have test directory use codes in src.) I know its a bit case specific, but some help would be really appreciated!

Current version of uv = 0.4.15

Hi @AnirudhG07,

I think this is usually done by installing your package in a virtual environment in an editable mode (so that any changes that you make are immediately reflected), and then you can refer to your package and modules from your tests as you normally would (e.g. bept.something).

For example if you use pytest

uv venv
uv pip install --editable .
. .venv/bin/activate
pytest

If you use the more modern workflow that uv shipped in version 0.4, I think simply running your test command via uv run should take care of all that automatically. (but I don't have that much experience here)
