al78 tools

Tools for Python setup file

Simple tools to complete setup.py file

Installation

pip3 install al78tools

Usage

Handle App first run

There is no way to run some post install bash code after pip package installation. But you can use this simple tool to run some bash code after first run of your app.

Example

main.py file

import os
from al78tools.pysetup.first_run import first_run_decorator
from al78tools.pysetup.tools import get_file_content


APP = "my-app-name"
VERSION = get_file_content(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "VERSION"))


@first_run_decorator(APP, VERSION)
def _handle_first_run():
    import subprocess
    result = subprocess.run([os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "postinstall.sh")])
    if result.returncode != 0:
        print("Postinstall script failed.")


def main():    
    _handle_first_run()
    # rest of your code

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

!!! Warning !!! Do not forget to add postinstall.sh file to your MANIFEST.in file. After this, you can use postinstall.sh file to run some bash code after first run of your app. There is a version string compare mechanism. If version differs from previous version, the postinstall.sh will be run. If you want to run postinstall.sh only once during all package updates, do not fill version paremeter in first_run_decorator function and it will run only for the first time of package installation.
