Building out the Groundwork
In this chapter, we will set up our environment and build the template for all the hard work we will do in the final chapter on our project. Some of the tooling we will use might be new and we will introduce it with explanations. The main tooling introduction is to GitHub Actions, which is a CI tool used to automate code-related tasks. We will be using this to run code checks in all of our repos. Poetry will be used to manage our Python code and package it into a PyPI repo. Organizing our code like this helps in many ways and allows us to share the code across systems. Lastly, we will be working with the PyPi public system to deploy and manage our Python packages. This isn’t the normal process, but to avoid creating a private server, this public service was used. In production, typically, you normally use a hosted PyPI service or hosts your own server. Those tools were chosen simply to introduce something new in the final project. As mentioned before...
