Project description

Copycheck

Copyright 2016 Janus Friis Nielsen.

This file is part of Copycheck.

Introduction

Copycheck inspects the beginning of all files reports any file without a copyright header.

The recognition of copyright headers is very rudimentary. Copycheck scans the 10 first lines for occurrences of the word “copyright” in any casing.

Installation

copycheck is available for install through PyPI:

pip install copycheck

copycheck can also be installed from source with:

python setup.py install

Usage

The tool will show a description of usage when given the –help option:

$ copycheck --help

  usage: copycheck [-h] [-v] [--debug DEBUG] {check} ...

  Check source files for missing copyright headers

  positional arguments:
    {check}        sub-commands
      check        check for missing copyright headers

  optional arguments:
    -h, --help     show this help message and exit
    -v, --verbose  Enable verbose output
    --debug DEBUG  Enable debug output

Check all files in a directory

$ copycheck check path/to/directory

Check all files in a number of directories

$ copycheck check path/to/directory path/to/another/directory /and/so/on/..

Ignore files

You can put a files called .copycheckignore in the base directory of your project.

The syntax of the files is Git wildmatch. The same as used in .gitignore.

Building copycheck

Make sure you have a Python 3.5 environment with the requirements.

E.g. use pyenv:

$ pyenv virtualenv 3.5.0 copycheck-venv
$ pyenv activate copycheck-venv

Make sure pip is up-to-date:

$ pip install --upgrade pip

Install requirements:

$ pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt

Build the wheel:

$ make

Development

Use the following command to install the package in the local environment during development.

$ pip install -e .

This allows you to change the code and test copycheck directly.

Releasing

Do the following to release a new version:

  1. Commit changes

  2. Push changes

  3. Merge with master

  4. Update local master

  5. Find the next release version, e.g. 6.6.6

  6. Create new branch with name core/release-6.6.6

  7. Bump version in __about__.py

  8. Run ./release.sh 6.6.6

Upload to Pypi

First, perform a test upload to verify everything is nice and dandy. Then perform the real upload.

Make sure the following environment variables have been properly defined:

$ export PYPI_TEST_USERNAME="<username>"
$ export PYPI_TEST_PASSWORD="<your_test_password>"
$ export PYPI_USERNAME="<your_password>"
$ export PYPI_PASSWORD="<username>"

Test upload to pypi

You may need to register on the Pypi test server. This can be done here:

$ https://testpypi.python.org/pypi

Register:

$ twine register -u ${PYPI_TEST_USERNAME} -p ${PYPI_TEST_PASSWORD} -r https://testpypi.python.org/pypi dist/Copycheck-6.6.6-py3-none-any.whl

Upload

$ twine upload -u ${PYPI_TEST_USERNAME} -p ${PYPI_TEST_PASSWORD} -r https://testpypi.python.org/pypi dist/Copycheck-6.6.6-py3-none-any.whl

Goto:

$ https://testpypi.python.org/pypi/Copycheck/6.6.6

An check that everything looks nice.

You can check the HTML by running:

$ python setup.py --long-description | rst2html.py --no-raw > output.html

Test if it installs (do it in a different environment):

$ pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi copycheck

Real upload to Pypi

Upload

$ twine upload -u ${PYPI_USERNAME} -p ${PYPI_PASSWORD} -r https://pypi.python.org/pypi dist/copycheck-6.6.6-py3-none-any.whl

Goto:

$ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/copycheck/6.6.6

And check that everything looks nice.

Thanks
