kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E,

All IO related stuff should be a replaceable dependency

But this is very readable tho

muppetjones,

Also, you probably want a rotating file handler for the logging.

muppetjones,

Tests. And typing. And comments.

Tests can help you be sure that each piece is working as intended and that they’re working together. You can also mock bits out or create a temporary database for local dev.

Adding typing and comments, especially docstrings will help others read your code more easily.

const_void, 
<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">lemmy_comment_id=1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">if prod:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   lemmy_comment_id = lemmy.comment.create(post_id, comment_body)["comment"]["id"]
</span>

Etc. not particularly graceful but perhaps enough to tease out what is happening. Remember to branch!

manitcor,

even in a functional/procedural paradigm you need to encapsulate outside API calls so you can test without running an entire mock server.

Mocking the api?

docs.python.org/3/…/unittest.mock-examples.html

InternetPirate, (edited )

Just change lemmy.post.create to lemmy.post.createe to trigger an AttributeError. That way you can debug the code without creating any posts. You can also use many print statements all around the code, I would use two for each line to make sure the computer isn’t fooling you. Lastly, you can spin up your own Lemmy instance to not have to worry about the generated posts.
