Python Harness Notes

Use this reference for Python repositories.

Common files to inspect

• pyproject.toml
• requirements.txt
• poetry.lock
• uv.lock
• src/
• tests/
• tox.ini
• noxfile.py

Common validation commands

Typical examples:

• pytest
• ruff check .
• mypy .
• python -m build
• tox

Prefer environment-specific commands already documented by the repo.

Common guardrails

• avoid mixing package managers in guidance
• be explicit about virtualenv or tool runner if required
• note when tests depend on services, fixtures, or secrets
• prefer local, minimal edits over package-wide rewrites
