This page describes tips on the development environment for LensKit.

Setting Up

Follow the instructions in DevWorkflow to get the source code and set up the Conda environment.

Editor and Configuration

Any decent Python editor should be fine. Visual Studio Code is known to work particularly well; we recommend installing the EditorConfig and Python extensions.

We include a .editorconfig file in the repository to help auto-configure any editor that supports editorconfig.

We lint with Flake8, and include configuration files for it.
