OpenFisca NSW Base

This repo contains the entities used in NSW. This is so that different rules as code projects in NSW can share the same entities, avoiding duplication.

Packaging OpenFisca NSW for distribution

This base package is already uploaded to PyPI.

https://pypi.org/project/openfisca-nsw-base/

After you make changes, you can bump up the version in setup.py, and run make upload

This package requires Python 3.7. More recent versions should work, but are not tested.

All platforms that can execute Python are supported, which includes GNU/Linux, macOS and Microsoft Windows (in which case we recommend using ConEmu instead of the default console).
