Development setup

Prerequisites

For basic development you will need:

• Python 3.6
• Pipenv (https://github.com/pypa/pipenv)
• Pyenv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv)

Setup the environment

Use pyenv to install the different version of Python. Python 3.6 is required for development and the other versions are required for testing.

pyenv install 3.6.x
pyenv install 3.7.x
pyenv install 3.8.x
pyenv install 3.9.x

Clone the repository

git clone git@github.com:HewlettPackard/py-spiffe.git

cd to the py-spiffe directory

cd py-spiffe

Use the installed versions to define the specific versions for development and testing

pyenv local 3.6.12 3.7.0 3.8.0 3.9.0

Create the virtual environment

make env

.venv directory is created using pipenv on the root directory of the repo.

Then install all the dev dependencies

make dev

Run the tests

make test

Clean up your dev environment

To remove the virtual environment

make rm_env
