Uniform Project Layout

The PTB expects a default project layout following “convention over configuration” wherever possible and reasonable. See the cookiecutter project template, which can be found in directory project-template, for more details. For more details on this, please check out section Getting Started section.

Nox

The most central tool when interacting with the toolbox is nox, which is the task runner used across all of Exasol’s Python-based projects. The toolbox itself provides various standard tasks and a plugin mechanism to extend these tasks as needed. For more information regarding nox, please visit the nox homepage.

Central files in regards to nox and the toolbox are:

• noxfile.py: Standard nox configuration/setup file

• noxconfig.py: Exasol-specific file containing additional information needed by the standard tasks of the toolbox

Important Nox Commands

• nox -l shows a list of all available nox sessions

• nox -s <session> run the specified session(s)
