We're starting an open source project on behalf of this website! In this series of video's well set up the project locally, turn our python code into a python project and also make the first version of it pip-installable.
Notes
Remember that change we made to __init__.py in the previous video?
# inside of __init__.py
from clumper.clump import Clumper
This line imports the Clumper class. Because this is done in the __init__.py
file it will also be initialised in the root of the module. This makes our import
statements slightly nicer. Before we'd have to write:
from clumper.clump import Clumper
Now we can write:
from clumper import Clumper
Since this library will mainly feature that one class, it's nice that you do not need a submodule to import it. This is a nice feature but we've also added another method to our class.
def collect(self):
return blob
This method might be a more memorable way for users to get their lists of data back.
