Import code

[Andy Buckle]

One of my snippets in a test is heading towards 1000 lines. I would like to keep it in a git repository of its own, split it into multiple files, run unit tests and so on. what are my options for importing it? Do I have to make it into a package and install it into the qatrack3 venv with pip? Is there a simpler way?

Hi,

you can just place your python file(s) in a subfolder under venv/qatrack31/lib/python3.x/site-packages/. Pip is not needed.

Python documentation for modules: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html

If you have more then one file you should create a package (a bit further down): https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html#packages

Another option is just to create a package within QATrack+ itself.  For example, you could create a directory "mycustomcode" in the qatrack directory (don't forget an __init__.py file), at the same level as the qa, service_log, accounts, etc directories, then in your composite calculation you could do "from qatrack.mycustomcode.some_module import my_function".
