POC for python bindings using couchbase-cxx-client

• Prerequisites
• Contributing
• Testing

NOTE: you must install python (if using pyenv) specifying enable-shared, like so:

PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="enable-shared" pyenv install 3.8.9

That's a problem that the existing python client doesn't have, unsure how to deal with it yet.

To get openssl to be found by cmake on macos, where openssl was installed via homebrew:

brew info openssl

This will show you how to get it seen by pkg-config. To check that it worked, do this:

pkg-config --modversion openssl

The SDK uses pre-commit in order to handle linting, formattinga and verifying the code base. pre-commit can be installed either by install the dev-requirements:

python3 -m pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

Or by installing pre-commit separately

python3 -m pip install pre-commit

To run pre-commit, use the following:

pre-commit run --all-files

To run hooks separately, use the following.

pre-commit run trailing-whitespace --all-files

pre-commit run flake8 --all-files

pre-commit run autopep8 --all-files

pre-commit run isort --all-files

pre-commit run bandit --all-files

pre-commit run clang-format --all-files
