Running locally

Hey man, great work with this project.

I have a Python CLI project with a similar setup and I'm wondering how you test changes locally since you're importing the package pls_cli instead of importing the local files?

Hope that makes sense!
Thanks

Thank you very much! Be welcome! 😃

I don't understand your question very well, can you elaborate more? 🤔

For example:

In please.py you import from pls_cli.utils.quotes import get_rand_quote

What happens if you want to test a change to utils/quotes.py? When please.py runs, it will import the package stored in python/site-packages/pls-cli rather than your local file ./utils/quotes

My question is, when developing pls-cli do you have a special method to get around this problem?

Hope that's clearer 😅

If I understand the problem correctly, I use poetry to run locally ( And manage my environments ) when I'm developing, in this case it will get the local files and not the ones installed on my python machine.

I use that command when I'm developing:

poetry run python please.py
