Python version of the OpenPTV library - this is a work in progress

This work started from the https://github.com/OpenPTV/openptv/tree/pure_python branch. It's a long-standing idea to convert all the C code to Python and now it's possible with ChatGPT to save a lot of typing time.

This repo is created using a cookiecutter and the rest of the readme describes the way to work with this structure

>>> import openptv_python

For the best experience create a new conda environment (e.g. DEVELOP) with Python 3.10:

conda create -n openptvpy -c conda-forge python=3.10
conda activate openptvpy

Before pushing to GitHub, run the following commands:

1. Update conda environment: make conda-env-update
2. Install this package: pip install -e .
3. Sync with the latest template (optional): make template-update
4. Run quality assurance checks: make qa
5. Run tests: make unit-tests
6. Run the static type checker: make type-check
7. Build the documentation (see Sphinx tutorial): make docs-build
