setup.py
High-level description
This file, setup.py, is a minimal Python setup script that serves as a shim for package detection on GitHub. Its primary purpose is to enable GitHub to recognize the package, while the actual build process is managed using Poetry.
Symbols
setuptools.setup()
Description
This function is called to provide basic package information to setuptools. In this case, it only specifies the package name “cassiopeia”.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | str | The name of the package, set to “cassiopeia” |
Outputs
This function doesn’t explicitly return a value, but it sets up the package configuration for setuptools.
Dependencies
| Dependency | Purpose |
|---|---|
| setuptools | Used to provide basic package setup functionality |
Configuration
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | str | “cassiopeia” | Specifies the name of the package |
Additional Notes
- The script includes a shebang line (
#!/usr/bin/env python) allowing it to be executed directly on Unix-like systems. - The actual build process is not handled by this script but is instead managed by Poetry, as indicated in the comment.
- The
if __name__ == "__main__":block ensures that thesetuptools.setup()function is only called when the script is run directly, not when it’s imported as a module.
This minimal setup script is likely used as a workaround to make the project detectable by GitHub’s package detection mechanisms, while the actual package management and build process are handled separately using Poetry.
