buildout.bootstrap 1.4.8

Introduction

Formerly collective.recipe.bootstrap

buildout.bootstrap is a Buildout extension that adds a Buildout bootstrap.py file to your buildout.

It satisfies the use case:

“I want to keep my buildout’s bootstrap.py file up to date without having to download it manually.”

It also makes it easy to add a bootstrap.py file to a buildout created via buildout init e.g.:

$ buildout init

After running this command, you have a buildout.cfg that looks like this:

[buildout]
parts =

And you can now add the extension like so:

[buildout]
extensions = buildout.bootstrap
parts =

Run buildout again and afterward you should have a bootstrap.py file. Once you have a bootstrap.py file you can bootstrap the buildout via:

$ python bootstrap.py

If you still don’t understand, consider the following: with this extension you can avoid having to type:

$ curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/bootstrap-buildout.py

You typically use this extension when you have created a new buildout and want to:

• Check it in to version control

• Check it out somewhere else and bootstrap it with python only (i.e. no setuptools available)

Installation

Add buildout.bootstrap to the extensions parameter in the buildout section of your buildout.cfg e.g.:

[buildout]
extensions = buildout.bootstrap
parts =
