Python Support for Ball Aerospace COSMOS v5

Python support for Ball Aerospace COSMOS v5

---

This project allows accessing the COSMOS v5 API from the python programming language. Additional functionality and support will be added over time.

---

Installation:

pip install cosmosc2

See the docs, examples for usage

Create a Virtual Python Environment

cd to your project directory and run virtualenv to create the new virtual environment.

The following commands will create a new virtual environment under cosmosc2/venv.

cd cosmosc2
py -m pip install venv
py -m venv venv

Activate the Environment

Now that we have a virtual environment, we need to activate it.

.\venv\Scripts\activate

After you activate the environment, your command prompt will be modified to reflect the change.

Development requirements-dev.txt

Althought requests is required, when doing development work it is helpful to test with pytest, use black, and coverage. These can be found in requirements-dev.txt

> py -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Add Libraries and Create a requirements.txt File

After you activate the virtual environment, you can add packages to it using pip. You can also create a description of your dependencies using pip.

The following command creates a file called requirements.txt that enumerates the installed packages.

py -m pip freeze > requirements.txt

This file can then be used by collaborators to update virtual environments using the following command.

py -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Deactivate the Environment

To return to normal system settings, use the deactivate command.

deactivate

After you issue this command, you’ll notice that the command prompt returns to normal.
