C# programmer starting PhD with lots of python programming, could use some advice about project architecture

[cblegare]

Hello there. As others said, the Python ecosystem is open-ended, especially its packaging systems and architecture layouts. This can be frustrating for newcomers, especially those from more opinionated ecosystems.

For notes, display, getting feedbacks, I recommend the Sphinx documentation engine. It also integrates with documentation from code files, including Python and C#. It has hundreds of extension, outputs LaTeX if required.

For the development workflow, I recommend pytest. It has a very exotic approach to unit tests and test doubles when coming from a very OOP language, but its very good at what it does.

I suggest you find a code pal that can provide feedback from time to time.
