layerz 0.5

Module to create layers of dependencies

A simple module for creating layers of dependencies.

Installation

Just use pip!:

$ pip install layerz

Usage

from layerz import Layers

dep1 = type("dep1", (object, ), {"dependencies": lambda s, all_deps: []})()
dep2 = type("dep2", (object, ), {"dependencies": lambda s, all_deps: ["dep3"]})()
dep3 = type("dep3", (object, ), {"dependencies": lambda s, all_deps: ["dep1"]})()
dep4 = type("dep4", (object, ), {"dependencies": lambda s, all_deps: ["dep3"]})()
dep5 = type("dep1", (object, ), {"dependencies": lambda s, all_deps: ["dep4", "dep2"]})()

layers = Layers({"dep1": dep1, "dep2": dep2, "dep3": dep3, "dep4": dep4, "dep5": dep5})
layers.add_to_layers("dep5")
for layer in layers.layered:
    # might get something like
    # [("dep5", dep5)]
    # [("dep4", dep4), ("dep2", dep2)]
    # [("dep3", dep3)]
    # [("dep1", dep1)]

When we create the layers, it will do a depth first addition of all dependencies and only add a dep to a layer that occurs after all it’s dependencies.

Cyclic dependencies will be complained about.

Tests

Install locally:

$ pip install -e .
$ pip install -e ".[tests]"

And then use the helper script:

$ ./test.sh
