pinliner 0.0.1

Python Inliner merges in a single file all files from a Python package.

pinliner - Python Inliner

This tool allows you to merge all files that comprise a Python package into a single file and be able to use this single file as if it were a package.

Imports will work as usual so if you have a package structure like:

.
└── [my_package]
     ├── file_a.py
     ├── [sub_package]
     │    ├── file_b.py
     │    └── __init__.py
     ├── __init__.py

And you execute:

$ mkdir test
$ pinliner my_package test/my_package.py
$ cd test
$ python

You’ll be able to use generated my_package.py file as if it were the real package:

>>> import my_package
>>> from my_package import file_a as a_file
>>> from my_package.sub_package import file_b

And __init__.py contents will be executed as expected when importing my_package package and you’ll be able to access its contents like you would with your normal package.

Modules will also behave as usual.

Installation

$ virtualenv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
