Quick start

RESource supports Python 3.11 and 3.12. End users can install it with pip; contributors should use uv with the committed lockfile.

Install a PyPI release

python -m pip install deltae-resource

Confirm the package and command are available:

python -c "import RESource; print(RESource.__version__)"
resource --help

The distribution is called deltae-resource, while Python code imports RESource. Until the first PyPI release is available, use the source-checkout workflow below.

Set up a development checkout

git clone https://github.com/DeltaE/RESource.git
cd RESource
uv sync --locked
uv run pytest

For notebooks and documentation:

uv sync --locked --extra notebooks --extra docs
uv run jupyter lab notebooks/

uv sync --locked creates .venv, installs RESource in editable mode, and reproduces the versions recorded in uv.lock. Do not install project dependencies manually into .venv; use uv add, uv remove, or dependency groups in pyproject.toml.

Run an assessment

uv run resource config/config_BC_baseline.yaml --year 2024 -r BC

Other examples:

uv run resource config/CAN_baseline.yaml --year 2024
uv run resource config/config_WB6_2023.yaml --year 2023 -r AL BA

Paths inside configuration files are resolved by the running workflow. Large downloaded and processed datasets are not bundled in the Python wheel.

Import the API

from RESource.RESources import RESources_builder

builder = RESources_builder(
    config_file_path="config/config_BC_baseline.yaml",
    region_short_code="BC",
    resource_type="wind",
    weather_year=2024,
)

The former RES import namespace remains available temporarily for existing notebooks, but new code must use RESource.

Common checks

uv lock --check
uv run ruff check src tests
uv run ruff format --check src tests
uv run pytest
uv build
