SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Python projects often suffer from inconsistent style, missing validation, poor concurrency choices, and weak test coverage. This Skill provides a structured, phase-based workflow that enforces modern Python standards from environment setup through testing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Environment & Dependency Management: Sets up isolated virtual environments with venv or poetry and enforces Python 3.9+ type hints. - API & Application Logic: Builds asynchronous FastAPI endpoints, validates input with Pydantic models, and selects Multiprocessing or AsyncIO based on workload type. - Testing & Code Quality: Runs static analysis with Ruff or Flake8 and writes unit and integration tests with Pytest. - Use Case: When building a new FastAPI microservice, follow the workflow to scaffold the environment, define Pydantic-validated async endpoints, and verify quality with linting and Pytest before release. ## Quick Start Use the python developer skill to review my FastAPI project and bring it in line with PEP 8, type hints, and Pytest coverage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Python project with FastAPI and Pydantic?

Start with an isolated virtual environment using venv or poetry, then build asynchronous FastAPI endpoints with async def. Validate all input data with Pydantic models and add Python 3.9+ type hints throughout for readability.

When should I use Multiprocessing vs AsyncIO in Python?

Use Multiprocessing for CPU-heavy tasks that are blocked by the Global Interpreter Lock, and AsyncIO for I/O-heavy tasks like network calls or file operations. Choosing based on workload type avoids concurrency bottlenecks.

What linting tools work best for Python code quality?

Ruff and Flake8 both perform static code analysis to enforce PEP 8 compliance. Ruff is a modern, fast option, while Flake8 is widely established; either integrates into a standard Python workflow.

Does Python's GIL affect my FastAPI application's performance?

Yes, the Global Interpreter Lock limits true parallelism for CPU-bound threads. For CPU-heavy work, offload to Multiprocessing; FastAPI's async endpoints already handle I/O-bound concurrency efficiently despite the GIL.

How do I write tests for a Python API with Pytest?

Write unit tests for individual functions and integration tests for API endpoints using Pytest. Combine this with Ruff or Flake8 linting to verify both correctness and PEP 8 style compliance before deployment.
