monupco-virtualenv-python 0.4

Installing inside your virtualenv

• Create an account at <http://monupco.com>

• Activate your virtualenv

  • if you’re using virtualenvwrapper then simply:

    workon myapp

  • if you’re not using virtualenvwrapper then something like this will work:

    cd ~/.virtualenvs/myapp/
    source bin/activate

• Install this package

pip install monupco-virtualenv-python

• Create a script which will contain your configuration values and register the application with Monupco when executed. It should look something like this:

#!/bin/bash
export MONUPCO_USER_ID=YourUserID
export MONUPCO_UUID=APP-UUID
$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/monupco-virtualenv-python

NOTE:

• You can find your Monupco userID at https://monupco-otb.rhcloud.com/profiles/mine/.

• Replace APP-UUID with a unique value, for example generated by the uuidgen program!

• Make this script executable

chmod a+x $VIRTUAL_ENV/path/to/registration_script

• If you wish, you can configure $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/postactivate hook to call the registration script every time when the virtualenv is activated

echo "\$VIRTUAL_ENV/path/to/registration_script" >> $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/postactivate
chmod a+x $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/postactivate

• Execute the registration script to register the application.

$VIRTUAL_ENV/path/to/registration_script

NOTE: You will have to do this every time when you install/remove or upgrade packages in the virtualenv. Optionally you can configure a cron job to do this automatically.

• If everything goes well you should see something like:

Monupco: Success, registered/updated application with id 49

That’s it, you can now check your application statistics at <http://monupco.com>

Notes

• Monupco will use the basepath of your virtualenv as the application name. To override use environment variable MONUPCO_APP_NAME;

• Package virtualenv will also be added to the list of installed packages if you have created your virtualenv with --system-site-packages option. Otherwise use environment variable MONUPCO_VIRTUALENV_VERSION to override;

• Application type is “python” followed by the interpreter version;

• Application URL is the system hostname prepended with http://. To override use environment variable MONUPCO_APP_URL including the protocol string.
