The src/ Layout

The src/ Layout#

The “src-layout”

  • Instructs the Python interpreter where to find importable code.

  • Physically isolates core analysis logic from runtime execution and configuration.

  • A directory with an __init__.py is treated natively as a package.

🧩 Core Logic (src/)
# src/mypkgs/hello.py
def say_hello(name: str) -> None:
    """Greets a name"""
    print(f"Hello {name}")

Editable (Development) Installs Creates a system symlink to the src/ directory. Modifications to the underlying Python files are immediately reflected without requiring reinstallation.

⚙️ Installation
# Using modern uv tooling
uv sync

# Using standard pip
pip install -e .
🚀 Execution (scripts/)
# scripts/run_hello.py
from mypkgs.hello import say_hello

if __name__ == "__main__":
    say_hello(name="Bob")
