This module is part of the flask-boilerplate project.

Basic Usage
------------

Define a target by subclassing the Target class

.. code-block:: python

from maketools import Target

class MyTarget(Target):
sh_build_commands = ('ls -la',
'mkdir test',
'echo {VARIABLE}')

depends = ('requirements.txt')
output = 'myfile.txt'

# And when you're ready to use it
top_target = MyTarget()
top_target.build(format_dict={'VARIABLE': 'HELLO'})


For further documentation of the Target class, see `readthedocs <http://python-maketools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_. It has a few more options for extendability.


Advanced Target
-----------------

.. code-block:: python

from maketools import Target

class MyOtherTarget(Target):
# Define another target just to use it as a dependency.
pass

class MyTarget(Target):
sh_build_commands = ('ls -la',
'mkdir test')
depends = ('requirements.txt')
output = 'myfile.txt'
echo = True
always_build = False
depends = (MyOtherTarget, 'requirements.txt')

def py_build_commands()
print ("Do something in python")
