Installing Codac for Python use

Note

An online version (i.e. without installation) is available.

Install the Codac Python package

In case you want to use Codac only with Python, then the installation procedure is simply:

# You may have to upgrade pip (19.0.0 required at least)
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install codac

The ✓ configurations are officially supported at the moment:

Language	Linux (amd64)	Windows (x64)	Windows (x86)	macOS (arm64)	macOS (x86_64)	Online
Python 3.6	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓ (Repl.it)

If a configuration in this table does not work, please contact us.

Warning

macOS Big Sur and later (x86_64):

Python wheels provided for Catalina or earlier may need to be installed with something similar to:

sudo pip3 install --upgrade vibes # Add here any other non-binary wheels dependencies...
sudo pip3 install --upgrade --nodeps --platform macosx_10_9_x86_64 --only-binary=:all: --target=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages codac

Depending on the way Python was installed, the path to specify after --target may differ, e.g. if Python was installed from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.4/python-3.10.4-macos11.pkg, it may be /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages. Otherwise, run python3 -m site to check the site-packages full path in sys.path list. Also, the value 10_9 may need to be changed to 10_14 (or possibly another value) for some Python versions.

Note

Unsupported ARM-based computers can still probably follow Installing local Python binding (not tested).

Update your Codac Python package

For updating your already installed version of Codac, the procedure is:

pip3 install codac --upgrade

Test your Codac Python package

In order to verify that your installation is working properly in Python, you can run:

python -m unittest discover codac.tests
