Make sure you clone the repository in recursive mode, so you also get the
wrapped code of Opal which is exposed as a git submodule:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/althonos/pyopalTests are written as usual Python unit tests with the unittest module of
the standard library. Running them requires the extension to be built
locally:
$ python -m pip install -e . -v --no-build-isolation
$ python -m unittest pyopal.tests -vvThis project targets Python 3.7 or later.
Python objects should be typed; since it is not supported by Cython,
you must manually declare types in type stubs (.pyi files). In Python
files, you can add type annotations to function signatures (supported in
Python 3.5) and in variable assignments (supported from Python
3.6 onward).
When interfacing with C or C++, and in particular with pointers, use assertions everywhere you assume the pointer to be non-NULL. Also consider using assertions when accessing raw C arrays, if applicable.
