Switched the virtual environment activation command to be compliant with POSIX shell syntax. The previous `source` command is replaced with `.`, making the script more broadly compatible with different shell environments without requiring bash specifically. This change ensures greater portability and compatibility of the release workflow across diverse CI/CD execution environments.
Updated the GitHub Actions workflow in `.forgejo/workflows/release.yml` to explicitly use `python3` instead of `python` for both version checking and virtual environment setup. This change ensures compatibility and clarity across environments where `python` might still point to Python 2.x, preventing potential conflicts and erasing ambiguity. The adjustment aligns with modern best practices, acknowledging the widespread transition to Python 3 and its tooling.
Updated the CI/CD pipeline in `.forgejo/workflows/release.yml` to utilize the `node:20-bookworm` image instead of `python:3.10`. This necessitated adding steps for installing Python dependencies, given the switch to a Node.js-based image. This change accommodates projects that require both Node.js and Python environments for their setup and publishing processes, ensuring better compatibility and flexibility in handling mixed-technology stacks.
This update enhances our pipeline's capability to manage dependencies more efficiently across different technologies, catering to the evolving needs of our projects.
Introduced a new CI/CD GitHub Actions workflow for automated testing and publishing to PyPI, targeting Python 3.10 containers. This setup ensures code is tested before release and automates the distribution process to PyPI whenever a new tag is pushed. Additionally, updated README.md to include a support badge from private.coffee, encouraging community support and visibility.
This enhancement simplifies the release process, improves code quality assurance, and fosters community engagement by providing a direct way to support the project.
