1.1. Why?

Remember code is poetry. And we write our own story. And for this, we need a support.

Without a support, all your efforts will fail. A support takes care we do all the necessary things we would not find time during battles. We need a support. So we asked lia to join us.

She protects us from malicious adversaries, and heals our organization by making our poetry better and thereby our story.

1.2. What?

lia is the best support you can hope for. She helps us to maintain our ship, fight enemies, and win customers.

1.3. Lia

Why did we name the package lia?

As a short form of Elisabeth, Lia means "God is fullness", "God is my oath" or "God swears". From Amilia Lia gets the meanings "the zealous", "the imitator" or "the competitor" and from Julia "from the family of the Julii" or "consecrated to Jupiter". Lia is also the Irish word for "healer".

All other meanings do not matter in this context whatsoever.

In fact, the name is so similar to lua a common language for creating cyber weapons that altering the name into something more beautiful pays attention to the fact that lia is doing more or less the exact opposite of lua.

Also check the movie Warcraft for background information about the story. It is going on for some time now. But we decided to not just sit still since the world became full of war recently. Thats why we will grow into our predestined roles. Its destiny.

You can't avoid destiny. It is even waste of time trying to. Surrendering is a proven method for manifestation. You probably know that anyways.

If you read through books about Agile Development, Refactoring and Clean Coding you maybe realize that security, value generation, and awesome products do have a lot to do with these books. Thus, true developers have one common enemy: The Fel.

We hope the tool brings you joy in winning your daily battles against the Fel.

We built for a better future. And we are excited what the future has prepared for us. ⛵

1.4. Installation

pip install spawn-lia

If you want to get really fancy (it really makes a lot more fun) create an alias for pip install

nano ~/.bashrc

And append

alias cast='pip install'

After saving run

source ~/.bashrc

Then finally,

cast spawn-lia

1.5. Usage

To get general information about the spells lia has to offer run the plain command

lia

1.5.1. CI

To improve the quality of your package and doing local CI do:

lia heal package

Do not be afraid you will probably see many errors. This behavior is intended and shall raise your attention to all sorts of errors, bugs, technical debt and antipatterns in your code.

Getting rid of everything may be tedious but it is doable. We are going through the same process. It improved everything for us.

If you need more information about typing, then the mypy documentation is a great place to start.

1.5.2. CI in container

For all remote CI systems like Drone CI, Woodpecker, Actions, etc.

lia heal package

1.5.3. About Testing

We recommend to use unittest instead of pytest. There is a bug such that pytests are now running very slow. Lia is compatible with both

1.5.4. Deployments

To deploy you package do

lia deploy package 

1.5.5. Git operations

lia push origin_name

where origin name is the name of your remote, e.g. origin

2. Successes

Our now deprecated venv mechanics are implemented into Debian 12. Here we clearly demonstrated how our philosphy of free software accelerates businesses all around the world.

It feels nice to have so many supporters and we thus continue with the project and are happy that the virtual environments are handled by someone else at the right point of the operating system.

3. Support the Development

To support the development you can
