Create a modern pre-commit setup for Python using UV, Ruff and more

Please create more videos man!!!

[@kurtke1990]

Thank you for sharing. This helps a lot.

What a gem!

[@timothyspottering]

You are really motivating me to introduce a CI / CD pipeline for my python startup development! Every of your videos is like a friendly reminder, that I should be doing that.

[@Timnology-r4s]

I consider that a win!

[@SalahSaoud-j5s]

Thank you so much for the follow up video. Another fantastic video. Could you please share your thoughts on the tools and ways to document your python projects.

[@Timnology-r4s]

To document the project I typically use www.mkdocs.org/ and use a CI pipeline to push it to a static website provider such as azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/app-service/static. Alternatively you can host static websites on most cloud storages such as GCP Buckets, Amazon S3 and Azure Storage Accounts.

Your videos are amazing.

@0:44 just so you know: some of the characters in the icons are a lot closer together than the others, looks kinda weird. Maybe a kerning setting in the tool you're using to generate those?

[@Timnology-r4s]

Thanks, now I can't unsee that, didn't notice it before :p. I use www.manim.community/ for the animations. I'll have a look if it does something weird with the kerning for non build-in fonts.

Great video! Would you consider making a video about your PyCharm settings? Your setup looks minimalist, similar to my VSCode, and I’m interested in migrating from VSCode to PyCharm. I’ve customized a lot of settings in VSCode, but I’d like to learn more about PyCharm and its benefits. I've tried adjusting some settings and the UI to resemble yours, but I couldn’t quite get it right. I’d also love to know about integrations with tools like Ruff and Pyright in PyCharm and how they work together.

[@Timnology-r4s]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have a think on how to structure such a video! To quickly get what was shown in the video you can install the catppuccin color scheme. The cleanliness mostly comes from enabling view -> appearance -> Presentation Mode. Distraction Free mode also works really well to hide a lot of UI elements.

​@@Timnology-r4s Thanks i will check!

[@alejandroulisessanchezgame6924]

Can u share your nvim config, or make a video about it ? 🙏

[@Timnology-r4s]

In this video I'm using IntelliJ, but in others I'm using neovim. I'll have a think in how to showcase how I've setup my dev environment..

I love it a lot! 2 questions. 1) will you update the website to add pre-commit instruction? 2) the pre-commit versioned hooks aren't updated to stay in sync if pyproject.toml version are updated, do you have any idea how to keep the pre-commit and local project tooling on the same version? example: pyright recently complained: ``` WARNING: there is a new pyright version available (v1.1.387 -> v1.1.390). Please install the new version or set PYRIGHT_PYTHON_FORCE_VERSION to `latest` ``` which requires updating both files

[@Timnology-r4s]

1. Oh dang, thanks for the heads-up. I forgot to hit publish, the website is updated with the write-up now :). 2. There are a few ways to go about that, one way is to simply not update to the latest version unless you're missing features or run into bugs. A second is to indeed do it manually, for small projects that is usually fine. Lastly, the more mature option is to use automated systems such as docs.renovatebot.com/ which what I typically use. It supports UV, lock files AND pre-commit!

[@Aristocle]

Is there a particular reason why the pre-commit file is inside the tests folder? and not in the project root. Also, I believe the pyproject.toml file is in the tests folder just to run this specific example? Could you also give an example for gitlab?

[@Timnology-r4s]

Both files are in the root. Perhaps they appear to be in the tests folder because of the right pointing chevron, but they are siblings. See the repo: github.com/timvancann/yt-python-ci. Pre-commit hooks are fully independent of CI provider, so this setup will work fine for gitlab as well.
