The code is intended to demonstrate some Python best practices:

  • Object-oriented with classes and subclasses.
  • Dynamic configuration using a unique approach we call "class families" - for example, the names of the commands are properties of the command classes, not in a big "if" statement.
  • Extensive testing with high test coverage, guaranteed by CI.
  • Leverage the standard library by requiring as few 3rd party PIP modules as possible.

To set everything up:

  • Requires Python 3.11
  • Clone the repo and CD into it
  • make init
  • poetry install
  • To run it: python -m busy ...

We use Visual Studio Code to build Busy, so there is a VS Code configuration file in the repository.

Then to run the test suite:

make test

Or to run test coverage:

make cover

And to check style:

make style

And to run all of the above, and prepare for CI:

make
