buildout.dumppickedversions

Q: What is a buildout extension ?

A: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout#extensions

Detailed Documentation

Let’s create an egg to use it in our tests:

>>> mkdir('myegg')
>>> write('myegg', 'setup.py',
... '''
... from setuptools import setup
... setup(name='myegg', version='1.0',)
... ''')
>>> write('myegg', 'README', '')
>>> print system(buildout+' setup myegg bdist_egg'), # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Running setup script 'myegg/setup.py'.
...

Now let’s create a buildout to install the egg and to use buildout.dumppickedversions:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... '''
... [buildout]
... extensions = buildout.dumppickedversions
... parts = foo
... find-links = %s
... index = http://pypi.python.org/simple
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.egg
... eggs = myegg
... ''' % join('myegg', 'dist'))

Running the buildout will print information about picked versions:

>>> print system(buildout), # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Getting distribution for 'buildout.dumppickedversions'.
...
*************** PICKED VERSIONS ****************
[buildout]
<BLANKLINE>
versions = versions
<BLANKLINE>
[versions]
zc.buildout = N.N
zc.recipe.egg = N.N
myegg = N.N
setuptools = N.N
<BLANKLINE>
*************** /PICKED VERSIONS ***************

We can get a file with the picked versions. We just add an dump-picked-versions-file option and give a file name:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... '''
... [buildout]
... extensions = buildout.dumppickedversions
... dump-picked-versions-file = versions.cfg
... parts = foo
... find-links =
...     %s
... index = http://pypi.python.org/simple
... [foo]
... recipe = zc.recipe.egg
... eggs =
...     myegg
... ''' % join('myegg', 'dist'))

>>> print system(buildout), # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Uninstalling foo.
Installing foo.
Writing picked versions to versions.cfg

And here is the content of the file versions.cfg:

>>> cat('versions.cfg')
[buildout]
<BLANKLINE>
versions = versions
<BLANKLINE>
[versions]
zc.buildout = N.N
zc.recipe.egg = N.N
myegg = N.N
setuptools = N.N
<BLANKLINE>
