# Python Code Quality
## Quick Commands
All commands run from the `python/` directory:
```bash
# Format code (ruff format, parallel across packages)
uv run poe fmt
# Lint and auto-fix (ruff check, parallel across packages)
uv run poe lint
# Type checking
uv run poe pyright # Pyright (parallel across packages)
uv run poe mypy # MyPy (parallel across packages)
uv run poe typing # Both pyright and mypy
# All package-level checks in parallel (fmt + lint + pyright + mypy)
uv run poe check-packages
# Full check (packages + samples + tests + markdown)
uv run poe check
# Samples only
uv run poe samples-lint # Ruff lint on samples/
uv run poe samples-syntax # Pyright syntax check on samples/
# Markdown code blocks
uv run poe markdown-code-lint
```
## Pre-commit Hooks (prek)
Prek hooks run automatically on commit. They check only changed files and run
package-level checks in parallel for affected packages only.
```bash
# Install hooks
uv run poe prek-install
# Run all hooks manually
uv run prek run -a
# Run on last commit
uv run prek run --last-commit
```
When core package changes, type-checking (mypy, pyright) runs across all packages
since type changes propagate. Format and lint only run in changed packages.
## Ruff Configuration
- Line length: 120
- Target: Python 3.10+
- Auto-fix enabled
- Rules: ASYNC, B, CPY, D, E, ERA, F, FIX, I, INP, ISC, Q, RET, RSE, RUF, SIM, T20, TD, W, T100, S
- Scripts directory is excluded from checks
## Pyright Configuration
- Strict mode enabled
- Excludes: tests, .venv, packages/devui/frontend
## Parallel Execution
The task runner (`scripts/task_runner.py`) executes the cross-product of
(package × task) in parallel using ThreadPoolExecutor. Single items run
in-process with streaming output.
## CI Workflow
CI splits into 4 parallel jobs:
1. **Pre-commit hooks** — lightweight hooks (SKIP=poe-check)
2. **Package checks** — fmt/lint/pyright via check-packages
3. **Samples & markdown** — samples-lint, samples-syntax, markdown-code-lint
4. **Mypy** — change-detected mypy checks
