dtool-cli 0.1.0

Data management command line tool: dtool.

Data management command line tool: dtool.

Overview

The dtool-cli python package provides a skeleton command line interface to dtool that other “dtool” command line packages can be plugged into.

It makes use of click and click-plugins.

Creating a plugin

The dtool-cli plug-in system exposes two name spaces for registering commands:

• dtool.dataset

• dtool.collection

To create a dtool-cli plug-in, create a Python package with a dataset and/or a collection module(s). Below is the content of a hypothetical dtool_create/dataset.py file, aka the dataset module in a dtool-create plugin:

"""dataset command line module."""

import click


@click.command()
def create():
    print("Creating dataset...")

Then create entry points along the lines of the below in the setup.py:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    ...
    entry_points={
        "dtool.dataset": [
            "create=dtool_create.dataset:create",
            "markup=dtool_create.dataset:markup",
            "manifest=dtool_create.dataset:manifest",
        ],
        "dtool.collection": [
            "create=dtool_create.collection:create",
            "markup=dtool_create.collection:markup",
        ],
    },
    ...
)
