Season of Commits Fellowship: Progress Log - Pratham Hole

1

As discussed with @rahulporuri and @ansh I will continue contributing to open-source projects under the Season of Commits program for the next three months, mainly to RADIS where I am a maintainer and to other open-source projects. I will share details of the other FOSS projects later as I am currently discussing with the maintainers to make the best use of my time.

After 3-4 weeks, once I have made significant progress, I will share an update in this thread and continue posting progress here throughout the fellowship.

In the last two weeks, I contributed to multiple open-source projects across RADIS and NumPy. On RADIS, I worked on PR #1006, which implements parallel fetching for ExoMol databases to improve data retrieval efficiency and reduce waiting time during database access. I also worked on PR #904, focusing on parallel parsing of HITEMP CO₂ chunks to improve performance when processing large spectral datasets; this work is still under review. Additionally, I worked on PR #1007, where I reformatted the codebase to match Black 24.4.2 standards, helping keep the code style consistent and maintainable.

On the NumPy side, I contributed to PR #31532, where I updated the development documentation to change the recommended tox Python version from 3.9 to 3.12. This helps keep the development environment guide aligned with newer Python versions and current project requirements.

Last week, I worked on PR #1012, where I helped fix build errors and clean up warnings, PR #1013, where I improved the pre-commit setup and tidied parts of the codebase, and Issue #950, where I drafted an AI policy for RADIS, which is still under discussion. I also reviewed a few other RADIS pull requests that are close to being merged.

Last week, during my fourth week of work, I contributed to NumPy documentation while learning CPython API development. I worked on numpy/numpy#31667, updating the C extension tutorial to use the modern PyInit_{name} and PyModuleDef APIs.

I also addressed several maintenance-related issues in RADIS:

  • radis/radis#1018: Updated the ExoMol molecule list in classes.py to fix failing tests on the develop branch.
  • radis/radis#1016: Required explicit database specification for ExoMol queries to improve correctness and avoid ambiguity.
  • radis/radis#1017: Added an AI contribution policy and updated the pull request template.

In addition, I reviewed multiple pull requests from other contributors, providing feedback on code quality and design decisions.

All three RADIS pull requests are complete and ready to be merged, pending review from the other maintainers.

Over the last two weeks, I wrapped up and merged a series of PRs I had been working on for RADIS.

The merged updates include:

  • PR #1018: Updated the ExoMol molecule list in classes.py to fix a failing test on develop.
  • PR #1016: Required explicit database specifications for ExoMol queries.
  • PR #1012: Cleaned up the docs by fixing warnings, labels, and broken refs.

I also opened a few new PRs to fix some other bugs and help out with maintenance:

  • Fixed an issue where first-time logins were failing in local Jupyter Notebook sessions (PR #1022).
  • Increased the relative tolerance for the ExoMol absorption coefficient integration test (PR #1019).
  • Fixed some footer formatting (PR #1020).
  • Spent some time reviewing and approving several other pull requests in the RADIS repository.

Besides the RADIS work, I reviewed a PR over at kubernetes-sigs/node-readiness-controller (PR #201). It adds a really useful automated self-healing remediation example using NPD, the Node Readiness Controller, and Descheduler.

My updates from two last week:

RADIS:

  • #1026: Added a new option to drop unlabelled CO2 HITEMP lines in calc_spectrum.
  • #904: Addressed the latest reviews on the parallel parsing implementation for HITEMP CO2 chunks.
  • #1030: Cleaned up a few UI issues in the docs (fixed the footer overlap, updated the sidebar icons, and fixed a broken test badge).
  • #1031: Resolved the Sphinx cross-reference warnings that were popping up due to lazy-loading re-exports.

Kubernetes Node Readiness Controller:

  • #201: Added an automated self-healing remediation example using NPD, Node Readiness Controller, and Descheduler. I addressed the recent reviews and resolved some merge conflicts, so it is currently waiting on maintainer review.
