Package non-Python Assets into your Python Package

There are times where you may need to include non-Python assets in your Python package for distribution. This may include data files or JSON assets from a submodule for example that your Python package needs to reference. By default, Python will not include these assets in the bdist/sdist. You can either include an empty __init__.py file in that submodule (even if the project isn't Python) and rely on the magic of packages=setuptools.find_packages() in setup.py or you can explicitly include those non-Python assets by using the following steps.

1. In setup.py, include an array of locations to include. These are glob matching patterns. An example of this looks like the following:

package_data={
    'top_level_package': [
 'path/to/assets/one/*.json',

REGIONS_TO_FILTER = [
    'us-east-2',
    'us-west-2',
]

Install Xdebug on macOS

Installing Xdebug on macOS has changed a lot through the years. The most recent workflow to accomplish this is as follows:

# Install PHP
brew install php
# brew install [email protected]

# Install GNU `sed` and `grep`, installer will fail without them

Find your php.ini File

I always forget where my php.ini file is and which one is configured. Use the following command to find it:

Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php.ini

Import or Export SQL from a Docker Container

To export SQL, you must have permissions to do so (AKA: root).

# Importing SQL
docker exec -i CONTAINER_NAME mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE_NAME < MY_FILE.sql

# Exporting SQL
docker exec -i CONTAINER_NAME mysqldump -uroot -p DATABASE_NAME &gt; MY_FILE.sql
