Code is posted after explanation.

Due to the size of the project, this is being posted in three separate posts. This also ensures each post is more focused.

This is a follow-up to an earlier version of the same project. The feedback from the last round is tracked in an issue.


What is this?

This application helps you calculate monthly newspaper bills. The goal is to generate a message that I can paste into WhatsApp and send to my newspaper vendor. The end result here is a CLI tool that will be later used as a back-end to build GUIs (hence learn about: C#, HTML/CSS/JS, Flutter). In its current form, everything will be "compiled" by PyInstaller into one-file stand-alone executables for the end-user using GitHub Actions.

The other important goal was to be a testbed for learning a bunch of new tools: more Python libraries, SQL connectors, GitHub Actions (CI/CD, if I understand correctly), unit tests, CLI libraries, type-hinting, regex. I had earlier built this on a different platform, so I now have a solid idea of how this application is used.

Key concepts

  1. Each newspaper has a certain cost per day of the week
  2. Each newspaper may or may not be delivered on a given day
  3. Each newspaper has a name, and a number called a key
  4. You may register any dates when you didn't receive a paper in advance using the addudl command
  5. Once you calculate, the results are displayed and logged.

What files exist?

(ignoring conventional ones like README and requirements.txt)

File Purpose/Description Review
npbc_core.py Provide the core functionality: the calculation, parsing and validation of user input, interaction with the DB etc. Later on, some functionality from this will be extracted to create server-side code that can service more users, but I have to learn a lot more before getting there. Please review this.
npbc_regex.py Contains all the regex statements used to validate and parse user input. Please review this.
npbc_exceptions.py Defines classes for all the custom exceptions used by the core and the CLI. Please review this.
npbc_cli.py Import functionality from npbc_core.py and wrap a CLI layer on it using argparse. Also provide some additional validation. Please review this.
npbc_updater.py Provide a utility to update the application on the user's end. Don't bother reviewing this (code not included).
test_core.py Test the functionality of the core file (pytest), except anything to do with the database. Please review this.
test_db.py Test the functionality of the core file (pytest), for anything to do with the database. Please review this.
test_regex.py Test the functionality of the regex statements. Please review this.
data/schema.sql Database schema. In my local environment, the data folder also has a test database file (but I don't want to upload this online). Please review this if you can (not high priority).
data/test.sql SQL statements to generate test data for test_db.py. Please review this if you can (not high priority).

npbc_core.py

Pretty good!

This pattern:

# if in a development environment, set the paths to the data folder
if environ.get('NPBC_DEVELOPMENT') or environ.get('CI'):
    DATABASE_DIR = Path('data')
    SCHEMA_PATH = Path('data') / 'schema.sql'

is a little risky. Rather than having secondary flags (DEVELOPMENT) that derive other settings (DATABASE_DIR) in the code, have the code fetch those settings (DATABASE_DIR) directly from the environment. The development environment will set those settings differently from the production environment. You ask:

I don't understand what you mean when you say "risky" about environment variables—do you mean that I might get an error if they're not defined? I wanted to leverage the CI variable built into both GitHub and GitLab CI/CD.

Leveraging that variable is not a good idea. Applications should be categorically unable to vary their behaviour based on knowledge of which environment they're in; they should only pay attention to well-defined configuration points like your database directory. There will soon come a time when you have a problem, and you need to understand why the problem manifests one way in production and a different way in development. Configuration between these environments will naturally vary, but the application must be unable to vary its behaviour based on direct knowledge of which environment it's in or else there will be a complexity explosion that makes such debugging more difficult. It's easy to use GitHub actions to expose a different set of configuration variables based on which environment you're in.

I'd expect, rather than .db, to see .sqlite as the database extension; though this is minor.

For WEEKDAY_NAMES use a tuple instead of a list as the former is immutable.

Put your connection.close in a finally.

for i, _ in enumerate is not a good use of enumerate; instead just use range(len.

This:

    if string and not (
        npbc_regex.NUMBER_MATCH_REGEX.match(string) or
        npbc_regex.RANGE_MATCH_REGEX.match(string) or
        npbc_regex.DAYS_MATCH_REGEX.match(string) or
        npbc_regex.N_DAY_MATCH_REGEX.match(string) or
        npbc_regex.ALL_MATCH_REGEX.match(string)
    ):

can be expressed as

if string and not any(
    pattern.match(string) for pattern in (
        npbc_regex.NUMBER_MATCH_REGEX,
        npbc_regex.RANGE_MATCH_REGEX,
        npbc_regex.DAYS_MATCH_REGEX,
        npbc_regex.N_DAY_MATCH_REGEX,
        npbc_regex.ALL_MATCH_REGEX,
    )
):

It's odd to alias date as date_type. Probably don't do this.

if date > 0 and date <= monthrange(year, month)[1]: can use the if 0 < date <= monthrange ... syntax.

I find list(map to be less legible than a plain old comprehension, as in

[
    (bool(row[0]), row[1])
    for row in connection.execute(query, (paper_id,)).fetchall()
]

This:

(custom_timestamp if custom_timestamp else datetime.now())

can just be

(custom_timestamp or datetime.now())

Broadly, you have an issue with connection management. You open and close your connection too often. You should open it only once per program run. You ask:

Can you advise how to manage connections? Should I make a global variable or try to pass around function arguments? I would have done it in main() but Core does not have a main()

Identify the highest point in the application stack where a connection is needed. Spin it up there, don't put it in globals, and pass it to the functions that need it.

Use tuples instead of lists in your test functions.

I wanted to leverage the CI variable built into both GitHub and GitLab CI/CD. 2 DB connection is already in a context, but context doesn't call close() according to docs. finally is a good idea. 3 Can you advise how to manage connections?

typing.Generator is Deprecated

As of Python 3.9, from typing import Generator is deprecated. Instead, import it from collections.abc. (See PEP 585).

Unicode

Your regexes seem to assume strings of ASCII characters and they are only tested with characters in the ASCII range. However, in Python 3.x strings are Unicode and the re module operates on Unicode strings by default. For example, \d matches unicode digits and npbc_regex.NUMBER_MATCH_REGEX.match('੩੬') would return a match object. The comments suggest the strings come from user input, so stricter validation and testing may be warranted.

Regex

Regex patterns can be hard to decipher. This pattern:

compile_regex(r'^[aA][lL]{2}$')

probably takes longer to mentally parse than this one:

compile_regex(r'^[aA][lL][lL]$').

Or better yet, this clearly expresses the intent of the regex:

compile_regex(r'^all$', re.IGNORECASE) 

Generators vs Lists.

Every call to get_number_of_each_weekday() is inside a call to list(). It might make more sense to just return a list instead.
