libtool

libtool is a Python library for creating a Python library, and also manages versions and uploading to PyPi with twine

libtool runs in Python 3+ and only in Windows.

Instructions

You need to make a use_file.ini like this(see more options below):

[info]
# example with if...main that uses all imports from your library
test_file:test.py
# can also be test_file=your_test_file.py
author:test author
email=test.author@mail.com
description = description of the library
url=http://test.author.com
#dependencies
install_requires=mhyt,mhmovie
license:mit

and your test.py (Same as test_file above) like this:

from my_test_library.file1 import plus
from my_test_library.file2 import minus
#
if __name__ == "__main__":
    plus(2,2)#4
    # ##############
    minus(11,1)#10

To create library from ini:

libtool c {your ini file}
#or
libtool create {your ini file}

And the libtool creates the following files automatically:

• setup.py
• __ init __.py
• License.txt
• README.md

and the libtool will ask you if you want to edit readme.

To change version number(run version from the folder with setup.py):

libtool v

and the libtool ask "enter new version:".

To upload (Run upload from the folder with setup.py):

libtool upload
#or
libtool u
#you can add twine options e.g.
libtool u -r testpypi

Access from python

To access the libtool from a python file:

from libtool._cmd_argv import cmd
cmd.parse(["c", "use_file.ini"])
# or 
cmd.parse( ["u", "-r testpypi"])
#and all commands

Prerequisites

libtool depends on the python modules:

Markdown-Editor, requests, setuptools, wheel and twine

Installing

To install with pip- type in terminal:

(sudo) pip install libtool

if this doesn't work try:

pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel

if there is still an error please open an issue in github issues.

Additional options

To show help message:

libtool ?
#or
libtool help

Additional options for ini file (also in "info" section):

#foldername with your library in it, then not all imports need
#to be in file
folder=foldername 
#can also be folder:foldername
#the version of the library
start_version:1.0.0
#cmd scripts or other files that you want in path, like in setuptools scripts.
#separate scripts with commas.
scripts:script1.cmd,script2.exe

Additional options for create library command:

# to disable open editor to edit readme.md:
libtool c {your ini file} -e edit
# to disable create readme.md:
libtool c {your ini file} -e readme 
# to disable create setup.py:
libtool c {your ini file} -e setup
# to disable create __init__.py:
libtool c {your ini file} -e init
# to disable create licence.txt:
libtool c {your ini file} -e licence
# you can merge options
libtool c use_file.ini -e edit readme setup init licence

Custom options

You can also set custom options using Python. To create a library:

from libtool.libtool_class import Library

l = Library(
    test_file="test.py",
    email="your.email@your_mail.com",
    description="only for test",
    url = "http://your.url.com",
    pylicense="mit",
    author="author",
    install_requires=["mhyt","mhmovie"],
    #and the additional options:
    folder="foldername",
    start_version="2.7.3",
    scripts=["script1.bat",]
)
#to create __init__.py
l.c_init()
#to create licence.txt
l.c_licence()
#to create setup.py
l.c_setup()
#to create readme.md
l.c_md()
#to edit readme.md
l.edit_md()

To change version:

from libtool.up_version import UpVersion

UpVersion("my-sample-library")

To publish to PyPi:

from libtool.pypi.up_pypi import up
up("my-sample-library")
#you can add twine options e.g.
up("my-sample-library","-r testpypi")
