Environments

pybalmorel uses pixi to manage its development environments. All environments are defined in pyproject.toml.

Available Environments

default (dev)

The default environment is intended for developing pybalmorel and building its documentation. It includes:

• All runtime dependencies (pandas, matplotlib, geopandas, etc.)

• Testing tools (pytest)

• Publishing tools (build, setuptools, twine, packaging)

• Documentation tools (sphinx, sphinx-rtd-theme, sphinx-autoapi, sphinx-copybutton, myst-parser)

• pybalmorel itself, installed as an editable local package so that code changes are picked up immediately

Activate it with:

pixi shell

or, if you are in the user environment below and need to go back to development mode:

pixi shell -e default

user

The user environment simulates a clean end-user installation. It installs only the latest released version of pybalmorel from PyPI, with no extra packages. Use this to verify that the package works correctly as distributed.

Activate it with:

pixi shell -e user
