I'm targeting Python3.12 for its new typing features. As of now this builds on python 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13. I'll try to maintain compatibility with 3.12 and 3.13 but might use newer features and drop support for lower python versions. For more information about which python version are supported, see the CI runs here

Setting up self hosted runners

Setup link: https://github.com/TonyXTYan/HeLab/settings/actions/runners/new

Runner labels: macos14-arm64, win10-intel64.

Na, apparently github action is free for public repos, also much easier to setup and faster parallel jobs.

Other random scripts

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # for unix
venv\Scripts\activate # for windows

pip install -r requirements.txt

pip install -e .

.\venv\Scripts\activate

Dumps
