python-services

Python patterns for CLI tools, async concurrency, and backend services. Use when working with Python code, building CLI apps, FastAPI services, async with asyncio, background jobs, or configuring uv, ruff, ty, pytest, or pyproject.toml.

# Python Services & CLI ## Working rules - Validate external inputs and responses at boundaries; preserve exception causes. - Keep simple sequential work synchronous. Bound concurrent work, preserve cancellation, and keep task references. - Give network calls timeouts; retry only failures and operations whose semantics permit it. - Enforce job idempotency with atomic writes and database constraints. - Preserve published API behavior and shared migration history. - Match telemetry to an operational question and verify its output. ## Discipline - Simplicity first: every change as simple as possible, impact minimal code - Only touch what's necessary; avoid introducing unrelated changes - No hacky workarounds: if a fix feels wrong, step back and implement the clean solution - Before adding a new abstraction, verify it appears in 3+ places. If not, inline it. - Verify: see Verify section below; pass all checks with zero warnings before declaring done ## Verify - `uv run pytest` passes with zero failures - `uv run ruff check .` passes with zero warnings - `uv run ty check .` passes with zero errors - Coverage target: 80%+ (`uv run pytest --cov`; add `--cov-report=html` for a browsable report) ## Task-specific references Read the relevant reference before implementing or reviewing the matching behavior: - For packaging, environment configuration, CLI setup, or pytest behavior: [tooling-and-tests.md](./references/tooling-and-tests.md). - For asyncio, background jobs, retries, pooling, timeouts, or health checks: [concurrency-and-resilience.md](./references/concurrency-and-resilience.md). - For APIs, validation, errors, migrations, logging, metrics, or traces: [service-boundaries.md](./references/service-boundaries.md). Existing specialized references, when the corresponding topic applies: - [cli-tools.md](./references/cli-tools.md). - [fastapi.md](./references/fastapi.md).
