Python mocks 🧌 package for Fiji related code

Initially created for enabling pdoc to generate IMCF Fiji Python packages API docs. Now also used to run pytest on e.g. the python-imcflibs package.

The goal of this project is to provide mocks that can be used to build a fake (thin) pip installable Python package that will allow tools like pdoc or pytest to build up the AST (abstract syntax tree) by using the mocked objects while performing the imports.

🚫 WARNING 🚫

This project and its packages do not contain any functional code that is useful in situations other than the ones described above!

Building artifacts

You'll need poetry installed locally, then using fish run:

rm -r dist/
poetry build -vv

Installing / Creating a venv

To create a virtualenv for e.g. running pdoc, you can now simply use the packages from PyPI:

python -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install --upgrade \
    imcf-fiji-mocks \
    "imcflibs>=1.5.0a1" \
    python-micrometa \
    pdoc
