apdev (Python)

General-purpose development tools for Python projects.

Installation

pip install apdev

For development:

pip install apdev[dev]

Tools

check-chars

Validate that files contain only allowed characters (ASCII, common emoji, and technical symbols like arrows and box-drawing characters).

# Check default project directories (src/, tests/, examples/) and config files
apdev check-chars

# Check a directory recursively
apdev check-chars src/

# Check specific files
apdev check-chars src/mypackage/*.py

# Enable extra charset (e.g. Chinese characters)
apdev check-chars --charset chinese src/

Options:

• --charset <name> — Enable a built-in charset preset (repeatable, e.g. chinese)
• --charset-file <path> — Load a custom charset JSON file (repeatable)
• Environment variable APDEV_EXTRA_CHARS — Comma-separated list of charset names or file paths, used when no --charset/--charset-file is given

check-imports

Detect circular imports in a Python package.

# Specify package explicitly
apdev check-imports --package mypackage --src-dir src

# Or configure in pyproject.toml (see Configuration below)
apdev check-imports

release

Interactive release automation for publishing Python packages to PyPI and GitHub. Auto-detects project name from pyproject.toml and GitHub repo from git remote.

# Run with auto-detected version from pyproject.toml
apdev release

# Or specify version explicitly
apdev release 0.2.0

The command provides an interactive menu with steps:

1. Version verification (checks pyproject.toml and __init__.py match)
2. Status check (tag, build files, PyPI)
3. Clean build files
4. Build package (python -m build)
5. Check package (twine check)
6. Create git tag and push
7. Create GitHub release (via gh CLI or API)
8. Upload to PyPI (twine upload)

Override auto-detection with environment variables:

PROJECT_NAME=mypackage GITHUB_REPO=owner/repo apdev release

Configuration

Add to your project's pyproject.toml so commands can run without CLI arguments:

[tool.apdev]
base_package = "mypackage"   # Required by check-imports
src_dir = "src"              # Source directory (default: "src")

With this config, both commands work out of the box:

apdev check-chars    # Checks default project directories and config files
apdev check-imports  # Reads base_package / src_dir from pyproject.toml

Pre-commit Integration

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/aipartnerup/apdev
    rev: python/v0.1.0
    hooks:
      - id: check-chars
      - id: check-imports

Or use as a local hook with the pip-installed package:

repos:
  - repo: local
    hooks:
      - id: check-chars
        name: apdev check-chars
        entry: apdev check-chars
        language: system
        types_or: [text, python]

      - id: check-imports
        name: apdev check-imports
        entry: apdev check-imports
        language: system
        pass_filenames: false
        always_run: true
