pre-commit check load module

This is a pre-commit hook that just loads python module.

Why ?

By configuring an interpreter (virtual env) and PYTHONPATH per folder, detect early offending imports such as using a package which is not included in virtual env, or importing a package which is not in PYTHONPATH.

How ?

This package is based on pre-commit framework.

Configure check load module

Create a configuration file .check_load_module in root repository folder.

[DEFAULT]
# optional logfile
logfile = /tmp/check_load_module.log

# add any number of section per folder to configure
[common]
# prefix of file path
prefix = common/
# python path for allowed imports in repository
PYTHONPATH = common
# interpreter path in virtual env
interpreter = ../../.venv/bin/python

[app]
prefix = app/
# separate folders with colon or semi-colon, it will be adapted depending on platform
PYTHONPATH = app:common
# if no interpreter specified, the default interpreter will be used
# for Windows/Linux compatibility, interpreter can have several values separated by a coma
# e.g. interpreter = .venv/bin/python, .venv/Scripts/python.exe

In this example, modules in app/ can import modules in common/ but the inverse is not possible.
