#pyral

This sprint (ending Friday) included a quick look at the "rally_workshop" project (pyral based) which I haven't touched in... a very long time. If you'd asked me about this three weeks ago, I'd not have remembered it. However, at least one of the prospective job opportunities listed "pyral" among the nice-to-haves. Initially, I didn't recall but after looking it up, the light bulb went on... and I still have the repo!

Short version: It DOES still work, and CAN get to the Rally sandbox instance, at least thru UI credentials (api access didn't work initially on a quick and dirty try). The prototype workshop app was able to identify the two projects and various new user stories related to the Scorem project, so that's a success. Quickly noted, pyral package for python was last updated on pypi fairly recently (2024), another good sign.

It's weird, but I think taking time to put my dev stories into the Rally test instance has helped me focus a touch. Since it's just me managing the tasks, it seemed like it would just be an exercise, taking up time but producing little beyond Rally hands-on refresh time and some usable Rally test data. However, I'm finding it helpful in carving a path toward completing not only the ongoing SC*M work, but also other dev tasks like Python utils and C# / .NET training. Glad that Broadcom lets me keep the test instance going for the pyral work. This will help with that data when I get to pick that project back up.

Speaking of SC*M, moving toward the initial release process. Have gotten in touch with a half-dozen different folks for package review work, and have started writing up the pre-release doc. Still a bit of work to do first, but should get initial version out to PYPI within a few days.
