Python dependencies

Install Poetry for your OS. Navigate to the repository root and run command poetry install. this will create and activate new Python virtualenv, installing all necessary Python packages to it.

You can generate traditional requirements.txt file with poetry export --dev -E simplexquery -E docs -E swagger --without-hashes -o requirements.txt

Managing dependencies

NOTICE: Please remember to generate the requirements.txt file after any additions, updates or removals using the command above.

Developer dependencies can be added with command poetry add -D <package> Application dependencies can be added with command poetry add <package>

Dependencies can be updated using poetry update. Please notice that this will update all packages and their dependencies, respecting the dependency constraints defined in pyproject.toml

Dependencies can be removed with poetry remove (-D) <package>
