![]() There are a number of places in our docstrings where we write "list of X" as the type, even though napoleon doesn't actually support this. It ends up causing warnings when generating docs. Now that we require Python 3, we don't have to rely on type hints in docs -- we can just use Python type hints and omit the types of args and return values from docstrings. We should probably do this for all types in docstrings eventually, but this PR focuses on the ones that generate warnings during doc builds. Some `mypy` annoyances we should consider in the future: 1. Adding some of these type annotations gets you: ``` note: By default the bodies of untyped functions are not checked, consider using --check-untyped-defs [annotation-unchecked] ``` because they are in unannotated functions (like constructors where we don't really need any annotations). You can silence these with `disable_error_code = "annotation-unchecked"` in `pyproject.toml` 2. Right now we support running `mypy` in Python `3.6`. That means we have to support `mypy` `.971`, which does not support `disable_error_code = "annotation-unchecked"`, so I just filter `[annotation-unchecked]` lines out in `spack style`. 3. I would rather just turn on `check_untyped_defs` and get more `mypy` coverage everywhere, but that will require about 1,000 fixes. We should probably do that eventually. 4. We could also consider only running `mypy` on newer python versions. This is not easy to do while supporting `3.6`, because you have to use `if TYPE_CHECKING` for a lot of things to ensure that 3.6 still parses correctly. If we only supported `3.7` and above we could use [`from __future__ import annotations`](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/runtime_troubles.html#future-annotations-import-pep-563), but we have to support 3.6 for now. Sigh. - [x] Convert a number of docstring types to Python type hints - [x] Get rid of "list of" wherever it appears |

Spack
Spack is a multi-platform package manager that builds and installs multiple versions and configurations of software. It works on Linux, macOS, and many supercomputers. Spack is non-destructive: installing a new version of a package does not break existing installations, so many configurations of the same package can coexist.
Spack offers a simple "spec" syntax that allows users to specify versions and configuration options. Package files are written in pure Python, and specs allow package authors to write a single script for many different builds of the same package. With Spack, you can build your software all the ways you want to.
See the Feature Overview for examples and highlights.
To install spack and your first package, make sure you have Python. Then:
$ git clone -c feature.manyFiles=true https://github.com/spack/spack.git
$ cd spack/bin
$ ./spack install zlib
Documentation
Full documentation is available, or
run spack help
or spack help --all
.
For a cheat sheet on Spack syntax, run spack help --spec
.
Tutorial
We maintain a hands-on tutorial. It covers basic to advanced usage, packaging, developer features, and large HPC deployments. You can do all of the exercises on your own laptop using a Docker container.
Feel free to use these materials to teach users at your organization about Spack.
Community
Spack is an open source project. Questions, discussion, and contributions are welcome. Contributions can be anything from new packages to bugfixes, documentation, or even new core features.
Resources:
- Slack workspace: spackpm.slack.com. To get an invitation, visit slack.spack.io.
- Github Discussions: not just for discussions, also Q&A.
- Mailing list: groups.google.com/d/forum/spack
- Twitter: @spackpm. Be sure to
@mention
us!
Contributing
Contributing to Spack is relatively easy. Just send us a
pull request.
When you send your request, make develop
the destination branch on the
Spack repository.
Your PR must pass Spack's unit tests and documentation tests, and must be PEP 8 compliant. We enforce these guidelines with our CI process. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.
Spack's develop
branch has the latest contributions. Pull requests
should target develop
, and users who want the latest package versions,
features, etc. can use develop
.
Releases
For multi-user site deployments or other use cases that need very stable software installations, we recommend using Spack's stable releases.
Each Spack release series also has a corresponding branch, e.g.
releases/v0.14
has 0.14.x
versions of Spack, and releases/v0.13
has
0.13.x
versions. We backport important bug fixes to these branches but
we do not advance the package versions or make other changes that would
change the way Spack concretizes dependencies within a release branch.
So, you can base your Spack deployment on a release branch and git pull
to get fixes, without the package churn that comes with develop
.
The latest release is always available with the releases/latest
tag.
See the docs on releases for more details.
