• Tools to scrape the TCS database (which is based on the BFE)
• https://www.verbrauchskatalog.ch/index.php
• The interesting aspect: it allows you to compute various (cost) measures based on the canton, mileague, car type (so it is dynamic).
• Therefore it is a suitable set of tools to found your cost assumptions on and trace out other vehicle related attributes (for an SP).

Some remarks on packaging

• pip install -e . (run from your root) is very useful for testing (similar to R's devtools::load_all() but I think it automatically updates...).
  • (however this requires to use setuptools and setup.py (does not work with hatchling))
    • => WRONG just needed to update pip ;) => pip install --upgrade pip
  • see https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/
• Write tests with unittest
  • Run with python -m unittest test_module.test_class (or similar from your tests directory)
  • => run pip install -e first to avoid NoModuleNamed blabla confusion!
