Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
This package contains utilities used to package some of STScI's Python
|
|
projects; specifically those projects that comprise stsci_python_ and
|
|
Astrolib_.
|
|
|
|
It currently consists mostly of some setup_hook scripts meant for use with
|
|
`distutils2/packaging`_ and/or pbr_, and a customized easy_install command
|
|
meant for use with distribute_.
|
|
|
|
This package is not meant for general consumption, though it might be worth
|
|
looking at for examples of how to do certain things with your own packages, but
|
|
YMMV.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Hook Scripts
|
|
------------
|
|
Currently the main features of this package are a couple of setup_hook scripts.
|
|
In distutils2, a setup_hook is a script that runs at the beginning of any
|
|
pysetup command, and can modify the package configuration read from setup.cfg.
|
|
There are also pre- and post-command hooks that only run before/after a
|
|
specific setup command (eg. build_ext, install) is run.
|
|
|
|
stsci.distutils.hooks.use_packages_root
|
|
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
If using the ``packages_root`` option under the ``[files]`` section of
|
|
setup.cfg, this hook will add that path to ``sys.path`` so that modules in your
|
|
package can be imported and used in setup. This can be used even if
|
|
``packages_root`` is not specified--in this case it adds ``''`` to
|
|
``sys.path``.
|
|
|
|
stsci.distutils.hooks.version_setup_hook
|
|
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
Creates a Python module called version.py which currently contains four
|
|
variables:
|
|
|
|
* ``__version__`` (the release version)
|
|
* ``__svn_revision__`` (the SVN revision info as returned by the ``svnversion``
|
|
command)
|
|
* ``__svn_full_info__`` (as returned by the ``svn info`` command)
|
|
* ``__setup_datetime__`` (the date and time that setup.py was last run).
|
|
|
|
These variables can be imported in the package's `__init__.py` for degugging
|
|
purposes. The version.py module will *only* be created in a package that
|
|
imports from the version module in its `__init__.py`. It should be noted that
|
|
this is generally preferable to writing these variables directly into
|
|
`__init__.py`, since this provides more control and is less likely to
|
|
unexpectedly break things in `__init__.py`.
|
|
|
|
stsci.distutils.hooks.version_pre_command_hook
|
|
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
Identical to version_setup_hook, but designed to be used as a pre-command
|
|
hook.
|
|
|
|
stsci.distutils.hooks.version_post_command_hook
|
|
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
The complement to version_pre_command_hook. This will delete any version.py
|
|
files created during a build in order to prevent them from cluttering an SVN
|
|
working copy (note, however, that version.py is *not* deleted from the build/
|
|
directory, so a copy of it is still preserved). It will also not be deleted
|
|
if the current directory is not an SVN working copy. For example, if source
|
|
code extracted from a source tarball it will be preserved.
|
|
|
|
stsci.distutils.hooks.tag_svn_revision
|
|
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
A setup_hook to add the SVN revision of the current working copy path to the
|
|
package version string, but only if the version ends in .dev.
|
|
|
|
For example, ``mypackage-1.0.dev`` becomes ``mypackage-1.0.dev1234``. This is
|
|
in accordance with the version string format standardized by PEP 386.
|
|
|
|
This should be used as a replacement for the ``tag_svn_revision`` option to
|
|
the egg_info command. This hook is more compatible with packaging/distutils2,
|
|
which does not include any VCS support. This hook is also more flexible in
|
|
that it turns the revision number on/off depending on the presence of ``.dev``
|
|
in the version string, so that it's not automatically added to the version in
|
|
final releases.
|
|
|
|
This hook does require the ``svnversion`` command to be available in order to
|
|
work. It does not examine the working copy metadata directly.
|
|
|
|
stsci.distutils.hooks.numpy_extension_hook
|
|
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
This is a pre-command hook for the build_ext command. To use it, add a
|
|
``[build_ext]`` section to your setup.cfg, and add to it::
|
|
|
|
pre-hook.numpy-extension-hook = stsci.distutils.hooks.numpy_extension_hook
|
|
|
|
This hook must be used to build extension modules that use Numpy. The primary
|
|
side-effect of this hook is to add the correct numpy include directories to
|
|
`include_dirs`. To use it, add 'numpy' to the 'include-dirs' option of each
|
|
extension module that requires numpy to build. The value 'numpy' will be
|
|
replaced with the actual path to the numpy includes.
|
|
|
|
stsci.distutils.hooks.is_display_option
|
|
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
This is not actually a hook, but is a useful utility function that can be used
|
|
in writing other hooks. Basically, it returns ``True`` if setup.py was run
|
|
with a "display option" such as --version or --help. This can be used to
|
|
prevent your hook from running in such cases.
|
|
|
|
stsci.distutils.hooks.glob_data_files
|
|
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
A pre-command hook for the install_data command. Allows filename wildcards as
|
|
understood by ``glob.glob()`` to be used in the data_files option. This hook
|
|
must be used in order to have this functionality since it does not normally
|
|
exist in distutils.
|
|
|
|
This hook also ensures that data files are installed relative to the package
|
|
path. data_files shouldn't normally be installed this way, but the
|
|
functionality is required for a few special cases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Commands
|
|
--------
|
|
build_optional_ext
|
|
''''''''''''''''''
|
|
This serves as an optional replacement for the default built_ext command,
|
|
which compiles C extension modules. Its purpose is to allow extension modules
|
|
to be *optional*, so that if their build fails the rest of the package is
|
|
still allowed to be built and installed. This can be used when an extension
|
|
module is not definitely required to use the package.
|
|
|
|
To use this custom command, add::
|
|
|
|
commands = stsci.distutils.command.build_optional_ext.build_optional_ext
|
|
|
|
under the ``[global]`` section of your package's setup.cfg. Then, to mark
|
|
an individual extension module as optional, under the setup.cfg section for
|
|
that extension add::
|
|
|
|
optional = True
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you may also add a custom failure message by adding::
|
|
|
|
fail_message = The foobar extension module failed to compile.
|
|
This could be because you lack such and such headers.
|
|
This package will still work, but such and such features
|
|
will be disabled.
