How to install the library ?

Create a dedicated virtual environment

To install the library, you may first of all, create a dedicated virtual environment with a python version at least 3.9:

$ cd /your/work/directory
$ python3 -m venv env-resourcecode

then, you activate it:

On Unix-based OS:

$ source env-resourcecode/bin/activate
(env-resourcecode)$

On windows:

Your_PATH>.\env-resourcecode\Scripts\activate
(env-resourcecode) Your_PATH:\>

Install the library

In this virtual environment, you can now install the library. The library is available on PyPI, and installation is straightforward, using the following command :

(env-resourcecode)$ python -m pip install resourcecode

To test whether the install has been successful, you can run:

(env-resourcecode)$ python -c "import resourcecode ; print(resourcecode.__version__)"
0.6.0

which should print the current locally installed version of resourcecode.

Known issues

During the pip install step, you may have an error say

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://pypi.org/simple/resourcecode/

this is a known issue, which occurs with pip <= 19.0. To overcome this issue, you simply have to update pip to it latest version:

(env-resourcecode)$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip

and re-run the install step which should be fine.
