Code skeleton bundling essential developer tools for Python

This repository contains some skeleton code to configure and run essential development tools for Python project via pre-commit hooks. It is an accompanying resource for my blog post 'Essential developer tools for improving your Python code' on Medium.

It includes hooks for:

• isort
• Flake8
• Bugbear
• Black
• Mypy
• Pytest
• coverage.py
• Bandit
• Safety

Steps for running the pre-commit hooks:

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/ChrisCalculus/developer-tools.git
2. Install requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Install pre-commit hooks pre-commit install and pre-commit install --hook-type pre-push
4. Change some code and commit to your own repository (triggering the pre-commit hooks)

Notes:

• By default the development tools are not installed locally via pip, but fetched & cached when running the pre-commit hooks for the first time.
• Alternatively, you can install the development tools locally and run the pre-commit hooks using local packages by:
  • Installing local packages: pip install -r requirements-dev.txt.
  • Rename .pre-commit-config.local.yaml to .pre-commit-config.yaml
  • Install pre-commit hooks pre-commit install
