# This virtual environment setup is not needed if you will always be using
# Blender's built-in Python distribution. However, this venv setup can enhance
# the operation of IDEs such as VSCode and others even if this venv is only
# used by the IDE and you only run your code with Blender's Python environment.

# IMPORTANT: YOUR PYTHON 3 INTERPRETER IS EXPECTED TO BE 'python3'
# This is the usual case when Homebrew was used for installation. Homebrew is
# by far the best way to install and maintain Python on MacOS, including using
# Python 2 and Python 3 side by side on the same host.

# Create the python virtual environment.
python3 -m venv .venv

# Activate the new python virtual environment.
source .venv/bin/activate

# Upgrade the virtual environments setuptools and pip.
# New virtual environments created with the 'venv' module always seem to come
# with a setuptools and a pip that are many versions back. In most cases it is
# a good idea to upgrade these tools to the latest versions.
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools

# Install packages to support and enhance IDE operation, particularly VSCode.
python3 -m pip install pylint  # Static code analysis for Python
python3 -m pip install autopep8  # Automatic PEP8 code reformatting
python3 -m pip install rope  # Python code refactoring library

#################### CURRENTLY DEBUGGING BPY BUILD/INSTALL ####################
#### In order to support the IDE for the 'import bpy' statement or for future
#### project phases which might need bpy external to Blender itself for
#### execution, we attempted to install bpy, but this currently failing:
###############################################################################
#### Blender-specific setup - The bpy python module
#### Bpy must be compiled during the pip install and this adds some extra
#### requirements
#### Cmake
###python3 -m pip install cmake
#### Future-fstrings
###python3 -m pip install future-fstrings
#### Bpy, forcing a compile install with the --no-binary option
#### CMAKE CURRENT BUILD FAILURE WITH:
#### CMake Error at build_files/cmake/platform/platform_apple.cmake:38 (msg):
####       Mac OSX requires pre-compiled libs at:
####       '/Users/bilbo/.blenderpy/blender/../lib/darwin'

# Install project-specific python depdendencies
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt


###############################################################################
#
# Before you first run the app in any shell you will always need to activate
# the python virtual environment unless you plan to install all requirements
# globally or unless your IDE provides some other library loading/access
# mechanism etc. Most IDEs, when running this program for you, usually in a
# new, visible terminal window, will do the same thing as this command.
#### source .venv/bin/activate
#
# For development in an IDE, you will may need to configure the IDE to
# recognize and automatically activate the new python virtual environment,
# however many popular IDEs can automatically see and activate this
# environment in the .venv directory in which we create it, at the base of the
# project dir.
