python-template-cpp is written in Python. While prebuilt wheels are provided for end users, it is also straightforward to buildpython-template-cpp from either the Pythonsource distribution or the GitHub repository.

• Make commands
• Prerequisites
• Clone
• Install Python dependencies
• Build
• Lint and Autoformat
• Testing

As a convenience,python-template-cpp uses aMakefile for commonly used commands. You can print the main available commands by runningmake with no arguments

> makebuild                          build the libraryclean                          clean the repositoryfix                            run autofixersinstall                        install librarylint                           run lintstest                           run the tests

python-template-cpp has a few system-level dependencies which you can install from your machine package manager. Other package managers likeconda,nix, etc, should also work fine.

Clone the repo with:

git clone https://github.com/python-project-templates/python-template-cpp.gitcd python-template-cpp

Python build and develop dependencies are specified in thepyproject.toml, but you can manually install them:

make requirements

Note that these dependencies would otherwise be installed normally as part ofPEP517 /PEP518.

Build the python project in the usual manner:

make build

python-template-cpp has linting and auto formatting.

Python Linting

make lint-py

Python Autoformatting

make fix-py

Documentation Linting

make lint-docs

python-template-cpp has extensive Python tests. The tests can be run viapytest. First, install the Python development dependencies with

make develop

Python
