IDE Setup

Use the IDE of your choice to work on Osprey.

VS Code

If using VS Code, we recommend you install these extensions for the best development experience:

• Python (Microsoft)
• Ruff (Astral Software)
• MyPy Type Checker (Microsoft)

Settings (add to .vscode/settings.json):

{
  "python.defaultInterpreterPath": ".venv/bin/python",
  "ruff.enable": true,
  "ruff.organizeImports": true,
  "python.analysis.typeCheckingMode": "basic"
}

SML files

There’s no dedicated editor tooling for SML yet, but since SML is a legal subset of Python syntax, associating .sml files with Python gets you reasonable highlighting. In VS Code:

"files.associations": {
  "*.sml": "python"
}
