Quick Commands
pixi run build-py-dev # Build for development pixi run test-py # Run Python tests pixi run generate-stubs # Generate type stubs
Wheel Building
pixi run -e py312-wheel wheel-build pixi run -e py312-wheel wheel-repair # Linux only pixi run -e py312-wheel wheel-test
Key Patterns
-
snake_case preferred (camelCase emits DeprecationWarning)
-
NumPy arrays auto-convert to Eigen types
-
GUI requires DART_BUILD_GUI=ON
Key Files
-
Package config: pyproject.toml
-
Build system: python/dartpy/CMakeLists.txt
