scons build system extension

SCons extension to provide a recursive target detection and dependency handling mechanism.

Build a development version

Given the fact that we use git as VCS, we can not use the tag_svn_revision feature of egg_info. Therefor we make use of the gitegginfo module.

The following command makes use of it and creates the necessary egg-info directory using the current commit hash appended:

python setup.py gitegginfo –tag-git-desc –tag-build .dev develop

Run tests

Test can either be run the conventional way using the default test framework:

python setup.py test

or by using nose which is a build dependency of the module calling:

python setup.py nosetests –with-xunit –where tests/

The latter is required if you need to get test results in junit xml style to be analyzed by jenkins for example.

Create a source/wheel package

For a short packaging guide check this page: http://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html For a short tutorial on wheels check this page: http://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

python setup.py bdist_wheel

To combine source distribution, wheel creation and uploading to PYPI you could use the following command:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel upload
