*Aha! Create repos in sitecustomize!*
Devs get no credit for work done in cloned or forked repos until owners
accept a PR. This policy is not alright with me. Copying a repo (by hand)
allows me to get credit, but it's impossible to keep such repos up-to-date.
Here's how I keep my cloned Leo-Editor GitHub repo up to date. I cloned
my github repo using GitHub to do it so it was created in my own GitHub
repository. Then I cloned Leo-editor from my own Github site to my
computer. It got linked to the my GitHub version under the name "origin".
The official Leo-Editor repo is linked under the name "upstream". I forget
exactly how I did it, and I used the Get-Extensions program and you don't.
But I know it's not hard to do the same thing by hand with git itself.
To update , I check out my local devel branch and fetch/merge from upstream
Leo-Editor. Then I push that my origin repo.
Creating a private repo in the sitecustomize folder is the solution:
Do you mean the sitecustomize folder on your computer? Python can also use
a usercustomize folder, which seems better. Either way, why does this
scheme make any difference so far as GitHub is concerned?
I don't actually use either folder, because I would have to create a new
one for each version of Python I install, and then I couldn't easily keep
them all synced. Instead, I have created a "pycustomize" folder - any name
would do - and in the user's site-packages of each Python installation I
point to it with a "custom.pth" file. This file contains only this:
..\..\
This causes Python to scan the parent directory of your particular Python
version, and it picks up your Python files in "pycustomize". This works
for standard Windows installs since the typical directory structure is like
this:
%APPDATA%
Python
pycustomize <------ my added directory
Python3.10
Python 3.11
Python 3.12
Scripts
site-packages
custom.pth <------- my .pth file
(python library packages)
So all versions of Python can access the same version of my code.
If you meant some other sitecustomize folder, then I don't understand what
that is. Please explain more.
- pip install pylint --upgrade keeps the code up-to-date.
- I'll get credit for all commits.
*Summary*
Python's *-X frozen_modules* command-line argument bypasses all frozen
modules, allowing me to step through all code.
Converting projects in sitecustomize to personal repos allows me to get
credit for my studies.
