Build instructions for the BlazingMQ Python SDK

Running the entire test-suite with all supported interpreters on all supported architectures is difficult to do, and should already be set up with GitHub Actions. We advise testing with a single version of Python on a single architecture locally, and using the GitHub Actions CI to test on all other combinations in your pull request. See .github/workflows/build.yaml for more details on how we build and test on all supported interpreters and architectures.

The instructions below assume PYEXEC=python3.9 and will focus on Linux only. This should be sufficient in most cases.

Before following any of the instructions, make sure to git clone the project onto the host machine.

Using make vs. tox

Once the build environment is properly initialized, the project can be built in-tree (in the project's working directory tree) using make build. This is useful to iterate quickly. However, it has the disadvantages of having to install all of the required build/test/lint dependencies, along with the potential to accidentally test against the wrong artifact due to the in-tree build.

For a more comprehensive, self-contained setup, use tox to build the project and run the entire test suite targeting a specific version of the interpreter. Run tox -l to see all available tox environments.

Local Development

The BlazingMQ Python SDK provides a ./build-manylinux.sh script and a ./build-macosx-universal.sh script for setting up a development environment.

Working with Make Targets

When in an interactive command line prompt, you can use the following make targets to build and test the BlazingMQ Python SDK. Check the appropriate GitHub Actions configuration to set up the appropriate environment variables that may be needed prior to running these commands (such as setting PYEXEC). With a BlazingMQ broker running at tcp://localhost:30114, the following targets build and test the Python SDK:

make test-install
BMQ_BROKER_URI=tcp://localhost:30114 make check

Additional make targets are provided, such as for test coverage. Dependencies for these can be installed as follows:

python3.9 -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

And now you should be able to run make coverage.

Examine the Makefile, the GitHub Actions configuration, and the tox.ini file to understand more about these targets and how to use them.
