The etag prevents job submissions with old settings, when the job compiler script has been edited. The etag is the SHA1 hash of the `JOB_TYPE` dictionary (as defined by the JavaScript file). The hash is computed in a way that's independent of the exact formatting in the JavaScript file. Also the actual JS code itself is irrelevant, just the `JOB_TYPE` dictionary is used.

- Make sure Java is installed (so
java --versionshows something sensible). - In the root directory of the repository, run
make generate-py
Type annotations and lazy imports
This add-on tries to only load Python packages from wheel files when necessary. Loading things from wheels is tricky, as they basically pollute the sys.modules dictionary and thus can "leak" to other add-ons. This can cause conflicts when, for example, another add-on is using a different version of the same package.
The result is that sometimes there are some strange hoops to jump through. The most obvious one is for type annotations. This is why you'll see code like:
if TYPE_CHECKING:
from .bat_interface import _PackThread
else:
_PackThread = object
This makes it possible to declare a function with def func() -> _PackThread, without having to load bat_interface immediately at import time.
