🏷️ Labels: Python, Pytest, Dependencies, Debugging
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

The session aimed to resolve multiple Python path and dependency issues that were causing errors in module imports and test executions.

PYTHONPATH Adjustment: Explored methods to fix the issue with Python not locating the pipeline_core package by adjusting the PYTHONPATH using temporary settings, shell session exports, or a pytest.ini configuration file.
Module Import Error Resolution: Addressed path resolution errors related to missing modules like openai and pandas, and incorrect imports for the DirectoryProcessor class from pipeline_core.
Dependency Management: Created an initial requirements.txt file listing essential and optional packages for the project, and installed missing packages including faiss for dependency resolution.
Pytest Configuration: Resolved issues in pytest to ensure all tests are recognized and collected properly, including fixing missing dependencies and configuration errors.
Debugging Test Failures: Identified and fixed test failures by addressing import errors, function signature mismatches, and class initialization problems.

Successfully adjusted PYTHONPATH and resolved module import errors.
Created a comprehensive requirements.txt file for project dependencies.
Installed missing packages and resolved dependency issues, including the installation of faiss.
Configured pytest to properly collect and execute tests.
Debugged and fixed test failures, improving code reliability.

Further optimization of import statements and dependency management may be needed as the project evolves.
