I originally posted this over in https://lemmy.ml/c/python before discovering programming.dev.

Some neat tricks for using Makefiles with Python that I hadn't seen before. The one I have seen, having a help target, has been super useful in team environments and for debugging when used with variables.

Great post! I suspect that PYTHONPATH hack might be useful in reorganizing a particular repo at $JOB that contains a few different deployable packages and a common library.

The thing I like most about using Makefiles in this way is that it can provide a consistent dev experience across many repos in a team setting, if each repo defines a consistent set of make targets: make setup, make test, make build etc. I don't have to care too much if the project is using pip vs. poetry, or pytest vs. unittest.
