setup-environment

To set up a Python development environment after a fresh clone, run make setup to automatically install dependencies, configure tooling, and validate that linters, type-checkers, and test collections function correctly.

Validating a local development environment requires Python version 3.11 or higher and the uv package manager installed, as the deterministic make setup workflow enforces these prerequisites before proceeding.

Development environment setup fails during pre-commit hooks if prerequisites like Python 3.11 or uv are missing, or if imports are broken; the setup provides actionable diagnostic steps to resolve these common issues.

The best way to automate dependency installation and tooling configuration is running make setup, which enforces prerequisite checks and validates your CLI entrypoint, linter, and type-checker in one deterministic workflow.

Yes, you need uv to configure your local Python development environment because the setup workflow explicitly checks for uv presence and uses it to manage dependencies before validating your tooling.
