Bugs
- No apparent bugs in the setup configuration.
Optimizations
- Ensure that the listed dependencies are up to date and compatible with the rest of your project. Dependency constraints like
'pyserial>=3,<4'can limit updates, missing out on potential bug fixes or improvements present in newer versions. - Consider using a
requirements.txtfile for better dependency handling and management or allowing pip to compile accurate dependency trees. - Use classifiers in the setup call to provide more metadata about the package (e.g., specifying the Python version compatibility, stable/dev status, etc.).
Good points
- Uses
find_packages(exclude=...), which is efficient for including all relevant packages without needing to list each explicitly. - Clearly defined
entry_pointsfor console scripts make it easy to use the package's functionalities from the command line. - Comprehensive use of semantic versioning for package versioning.
Summary
This setup script is well-structured and adheres to standard practices found in Python packaging using setuptools. The use of find_packages and entry points are particularly well-done, offering both flexibility and ease of use. There’s room for improvement regarding dependency management and metadata enhancement (such as classifiers for greater clarity).
