A toy example of symbolic differentiation in Python

• Python 3.7+
  • It is recommended to use pyenv to install it
• Poetry
  • A package manager used to handle dependencies and virtual environments

make check

make doctor

The above command runs:

• vulture to find dead code
• radon to analyze cyclomatic complexity in the code
• bandit to look for security vulnerabilities

make qa

The above command runs:

• black to format the code for you
• pytest to run all tests under tests

poetry add <package-name> [--dev]

For more details, see https://python-poetry.org/docs/basic-usage/

The simplest way to debug the code is to run a shell inside the virtual environment created by poetry:

poetry shell
python

If you want to reinstall everything from scratch (i.e., remove the virtual environment automatically created by make check or any other make command):

make nuke
