External dependencies

• Conda
• Docker
• Make

Create environment

Use Conda to create a virtual environment and activate it for the project.

PROJECT_NAME = python-project-template
PYTHON_VERSION = 3.8

conda create --name $PROJECT_NAME --yes python=$PYTHON_VERSION
conda activate $PROJECT_NAME

Install dependencies

Install Poetry with pip. Then install project dependencies with Poetry.

make deps-install

Use Poetry to add project and development dependencies into pyproject.toml.

NOTE: Poetry must be included as a development dependency to prevent Poetry from uninstalling itself and its dependencies.

# development dependency
poetry add --dev poetry

# project dependency
poetry add pydantic
