pymod2pkg 0.3

python module name to package name map

#: pymod2pkg

pymod2pkg is a simple python module for translating python module names to corresponding package names which is a common problem in the packaging world.

Note that [rdopkg](https://github.com/redhat-openstack/rdopkg) uses this module to check whether packages corresponding to requirements.txt are available across distros and more.

## Installation

### from source

If you want to hack pymod2pkg or just have the latest version without waiting for next release, I suggest using the git repo directly a la

git clone https://github.com/openstack/pymod2pkg cd pymod2pkg python setup.py develop –user

### from PyPI

For your convenience, pymod2pkg is also available from the Cheese Shop:

pip install pymod2pkg

## Usage

module2package is probably all you need, it accepts a module name to convert and a linux distribution name as returned by platform.linux_distribution()[0]:

import pymod2pkg

pkg = pymod2pkg.module2package(‘six’, ‘Fedora’)

There’s not much more, really, so RTFS.

## Fixing/extending the map

Currently, only package maps for RPM-based systems are provided, but it’d be nice to have all the distros covered and it’s really easy to do.

See *_PKG_MAP and get_pkg_map, hack it to your liking and submit review by

git review

## Running the testsuite

Run tests by:

python tests.py
