Oxowlbot uses Python 3.8.2. It can be installed using brew (brew install python@3.8) or using pyenv ((1) install the dependencies, (2) install pyenv, (3) run pyenv install 3.8.2 and then pyenv global 3.8.2).

1. Install the python package manager Poetry (also see the full instructions in the doc). On Linux and OSX, use:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python

2. Install the dependencies. Make sure you're at the root of this repository and run the following command:

poetry install

This will install all the dependencies listed in pyproject.toml, respecting the version specified in poetry.lock.

If you use VSCode, you can install pyright's extension.

Poetry is quite similar to yarn and npm:

• To add a package to the project use poetry add ...
• Use poetry add --dev ... for a developer dependency (example: selenium)
• To run any CLI installed in the project use poetry run ...
  • To run django-admin use poetry run django-admin
  • To run python with the project dependencies available, use poetry run python .... This applies both to running python files, and starting a python shell.
  • To run manage.py, use poetry run python manage.py
  • ALTERNATIVELY, you can use poetry shell to activate the virtual environment, and then freely run the CLIs installed in it: django-admin ..., python manage.py ..., etc.
