Packaging Your Code
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Packaging your code is important.
|
|
|
|
You'll need to package your code first before sharing it with other developers.
|
|
|
|
The `Python Packaging Guide <https://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_ provides an extensive guide on creating and maintaining Python packages.
|
|
|
|
For Python Developers
|
|
:::::::::::::::::::::
|
|
|
|
If you're writing an open source Python module, `PyPI <http://pypi.python.org>`_,
|
|
more properly known as *The Cheeseshop*, is the place to host it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pip vs. easy_install
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Use `pip <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip>`_. More details `here <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3220404/why-use-pip-over-easy-install>`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
Personal PyPI
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to install packages from a source different from PyPI, (say, if
|
|
your packages are *proprietary*), you can do it by hosting a simple http server,
|
|
running from the directory which holds those packages which need to be installed.
|
|
|
|
**Showing an example is always beneficial**
|
|
|
|
Say if you are after installing a package called MyPackage.tar.gz, and
|
|
assuming this is your directory structure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- archive
|
|
- MyPackage
|
|
- MyPackage.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Go to your command prompt and type:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ cd archive
|
|
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9000
|
|
|
|
This runs a simple http server running on port 9000 and will list all packages
|
|
(like **MyPackage**). Now you can install **MyPackage** using any python
|
|
package installer. Using Pip, you would do it like:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ pip install --extra-index-url=http://127.0.0.1:9000/ MyPackage
|
|
|
|
Having a folder with the same name as the package name is **crucial** here.
|
|
I got fooled by that, one time. But if you feel that creating a folder called
|
|
**MyPackage** and keeping **MyPackage.tar.gz** inside that, is *redundant*,
|
|
you can still install MyPackage using:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ pip install http://127.0.0.1:9000/MyPackage.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Chishop
|
|
+++++++
|
|
|
|
`Chishop <https://github.com/benliles/djangopypi>`_ is a simple PyPI server
|
|
written in django which allows you to register/upload with distutils and
|
|
install with easy_install/pip.
|
|
|
|
S3-Hosted PyPi
|
|
++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
One simple option for a personal PyPi server is to use Amazon S3. A prerequisite for this is that you have an Amazon AWS account with an S3 bucket.
|
|
|
|
1. **Install all your requirements from PyPi or another source**
|
|
2. **Install pip2pi**
|
|
|
|
* :code:`pip install git+https://github.com/wolever/pip2pi.git`
|
|
|
|
3. **Follow pip2pi README for pip2tgz and dir2pi commands**
|
|
|
|
* :code:`pip2tgz packages/ YourPackage` (or :code:`pip2tgz packages/ -r requirements.txt`)
|
|
* :code:`dir2pi packages/`
|
|
|
|
4. **Upload the new files**
|
|
|
|
* Use a client like Cyberduck to sync the entire :code:`packages` folder to your s3 bucket
|
|
* Make sure you upload :code:`packages/simple/index.html` as well as all new files and directories
|
|
|
|
5. **Fix new file permissions**
|
|
|
|
* By default, when you upload new files to the S3 bucket, they will have the wrong permissions set.
|
|
* Use the Amazon web console to set the READ permission of the files to EVERYONE.
|
|
* If you get HTTP 403 when trying to install a package, make sure you've set the permissions correctly.
|
|
|
|
6. **All done**
|
|
|
|
* You can now your package with :code:`pip install --index-url=http://your-s3-bucket/packages/simple/ YourPackage`
|
|
|
|
