How To Package And Distribute Python Applications
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-package-and-distribute-python-applications
- Working directory:
~/MyApplication/FlaskApp$ - For develop, we just need two commands like bellow:
python setup.py develop # create .egg.link to FlaskApp
python setup.py develop -u #To reverse
- For normal user:
python setup.py install
- Just run bellow command in terminal:
flaskapp
apt-get install python-stdeb fakeroot python-all
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
- fakeroot: run a command in an environment faking root privileges for file manipulation
- python-steb: produces Debian source packages from Python packages
- Use setuptools substitute for distutils
#from distutils.core import setup
from setuptools import setup
- Upgrade setuptools
pip install --upgrade setuptools pip
-
Config requirement packages: Normally, we have two ways to say for users which dependencies packages they need for our app.
- Config install_requires in setup.py : require when we setup via deb file
- Config requirements.txt : not require when we setup, just recommend users run
pip install -r requirements.txt
In this super small example project, I just use install_requires.
- This is my env in my test case:
daidv@Winner:~/MyApplication/FlaskApp$ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Jul 1 2016, 15:12:24)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import setuptools
>>> setuptools.__version__
'28.6.0'
>>> import flask
>>> flask.__version__
'0.11.1'
>>>
- To do: I must to remove load config and render from template in this branch because I'm facing some bug like ".egg is not directory, we can read file template in it"
In future, I will come back to bump it.
- Remove load config: app/init.py
- Return fixed value in module_one/controllers.py
