Tools for working with PRONOM releases
Project description
PRONOM Release Tools
Tools for working with PRONOM releases.
Tooling
A summary of the tooling included.
PRONOM Summary
Summarize a PRONOM by comparing the PRONOM dataset with its corresponding signature files. The output for a single file format looks as follows:
{
"name": "yEnc Encoded File",
"description": "complete",
"signature": true,
"identifier": "fmt/1100"
}
To run:
python -m src.pronom_summary.pronom_summary
PRONOM Tools
Coordinate PRONOM release output to produce a summary about the dataset and provide links to latest release information, including links to the latest PRONOM signature files.
To run:
python -m src.pronom_tools.pronom_tools

PRONOM Stats
Provides a HTTP server to store stats about a PRONOM release based on the different scripts above.
To run:
python -m src.pronom_stats.pronom_stats
Environment
A pronom.emv
file is needed that looks as follows:
# Config for PRONOM tools.
SERVER_AUTH=badf00d
SERVER_ADDR=http://127.0.0.1:26000
Ports
Ports that are used by this application:
pronom api: 26000
pronom summary site: 26001
PRONOM Cron
PRONOM Cron can be run as a cron task to update the pronom summary database
on a regular basis. Run with -i
to initialize, and from there, run it n-
times a day to look for a new PRONOM release.
To run:
python -m src.pronom_cron.pronom_cron
Example cron
NB. the following example requires that cron-stats is setup and running so that the stats downloaded during the cron job can be stored.
To test for a new PRONOM release every four hours run:
crontab -e
And then add a task to run every four hours.
0 */4 * * * pronom-cron
For more cron examples see cron guru,
Developer install
pip
Setup a virtual environment venv
and install the local development
requirements as follows:
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -r requirements/local.txt
tox
Run tests (all)
python -m tox
Run tests-only
python -m tox -e py3
Run linting-only
python -m tox -e linting
pre-commit
Pre-commit can be used to provide more feedback before committing code. This reduces reduces the number of commits you might want to make when working on code, it's also an alternative to running tox manually.
To set up pre-commit, providing pip install
has been run above:
pre-commit install
This repository contains a default number of pre-commit hooks, but there may be others suited to different projects. A list of other pre-commit hooks can be found here.
Packaging
The Makefile
contains helper functions for packaging and release.
Makefile functions can be reviewed by calling make
from the root of this
repository:
clean Clean the package directory
docs Generate documentation
help Print this help message
package-check Check the distribution is valid
package-deps Upgrade dependencies for packaging
package-source Package the source code
package-upload Upload package to pypi
package-upload-test Upload package to test.pypi
pre-commit Run all pre-commit checks
serve-docs Serve the documentation
tar-source Package repository as tar for easy distribution
pyproject.toml
Packaging consumes the metadata in pyproject.toml
which helps to describe
the project on the official pypi.org repository. Have a look at the
documentation and comments there to help you create a suitably descriptive
metadata file.
Local packaging
To create a python wheel for testing locally, or distributing to colleagues run:
make package-source
A tar
and whl
file will be stored in a dist/
directory. The whl
file
can be installed as follows:
pip install <your-package>.whl
Publishing
Publishing for public use can be achieved with:
make package-upload-test
ormake package-upload
make-package-upload-test
will upload the package to test.pypi.org
which provides a way to look at package metadata and documentation and ensure
that it is correct before uploading to the official pypi.org
repository using make package-upload
.
