Rez launching environment manager

What is this ?

A Rez production virtual environment management tool, which allows safe environment update without any interruption. Plus a convenient virtual environment setup interface.

Install

# python 3+
$ pip install rezup

Quick start

By typing rezup in terminal, a container named .main will be created under ~/.rezup by default (the root location can be changed by setting env var REZUP_ROOT_LOCAL). Once that done, a vanilla Rez environment is presented by a subprocess and simply typing exit to escape.

Container

A container is a Rez environment. And each container holds at least one virtual environment folder named by timestamp, which is revision. With that convention, latest version of environment can be provided without affecting existing user.

# Container/Revision structure

\.rezup
   |
   + - {container}
   |     |
   :     + - {revision}  # venv and bin tools lives here
   :     |
         + - {revision}  # the folder is named as timestamp, e.g. 1619780350.588625
         |
         + - {revision}  # latest one will be provided when calling `rezup use {container}` in terminal

For centralize management in production, one remote container can be defined with env var REZUP_ROOT_REMOTE. The remote container only contains the venv installation manifest file rezup.toml, and when being asked, a venv revision will be created locally or re-used if same revision exists in local.

Recipe

To customize the container, you can write a ~/rezup.toml to tell what should be installed and what environment variable should have. For example :

description = "My rez setup"

[rez]
name = "rez"
url = "rez>=2.83"

[[extension]]
name = "foo"
url = "~/dev/foo"
edit = true

[[extension]]
name = "bar"
url = "git+git://github.com/get-bar/bar"
isolation = true
python = 2.7

[shared]
name = "production"
requires = [
    "toml",
    "pyside2",
    "Qt5.py",
]

[env]
REZ_CONFIG_FILE = "/path/to/rezconfig.py"

The settings in section rez and extension will be parsed and pass to pip, so the url can be e.g. a version specifier and the package will be installed from PyPi.

The edit can be used if the url is a filesystem path that point to the source code and the Rez environment can run in dev-mode.

If the extension has isolation set to true, additional venv will be created just for that package. Different Python version (if can be found from system) will be used when python entry presented.

For saving revision's creation time, one could add shared section in setting for defining dependencies that can be shared across all revisions in one container. Won't be shared with extension that has isolated set to true.

Section env is for setting environment variables when container revision is being used. However this feature can be hard to debug when something goes wrong, because it's per revision setting and currently no tool for iterating those .toml between revisions for debug. See Site Customize below for better alternative.

Recipe file name should embed container name (if not default container) so that command rezup add <container> could pick it up when creating corresponding container, for example:

  • ~/rezup.toml for container .main, the default
  • ~/rezup.dev.toml for container dev
  • ~/rezup.test.toml for container test
  • ~/rezup.{name}.toml for container {name}

Caveat

Rez production install validation will failed, due to Rezup manages entrypoints a bit like pipx, which is different from the setup of Rez install script. So e.g. rez-env can not nesting context (rez bin tools will not be appended in PATH), without changing production install validation mechanism.

Commands

use default container .main

$ rezup

use foo

$ rezup use foo

use foo and do job

$ rezup use foo --do {script.bat or "quoted command"}

create & use new venv into default container .main (recipe ~/rezup.toml will be used)

$ rezup add

create & use new venv into container foo (recipe ~/rezup.foo.toml will be used)

$ rezup add foo

create & use new venv into default container with specific recipe

$ rezup add --file {rezup.toml}

create new venv into default remote container

$ rezup add --remote --skip-use

remove container foo

$ rezup drop foo

list containers and info

$ rezup status

Auto Upgrade

Updating package that has running console scripts can be error prone. We need to separate API package and CLI scripts as two different PyPI project (rezup-api & rezup), so we can safely upgrade only the package part while the console script is running.

Both projects will be released together under same version, so that one could still upgrading the API part via upgrading CLI. As long as console script is not in use.

pip install --upgrade rezup

The upgrade checking process will be triggered immediately when calling rezup in console, except version querying or last upgrade check is done not long before REZUP_UPGRADE_PAUSE period ends. If upgrade is needed and completed, session will be restarted with previous command.

To disable auto upgrade, use command flag --no-upgrade or set env var REZUP_NO_UPGRADE with any value.

Environment Variables

Name Description
REZUP_ROOT_LOCAL Local root of all containers and metadata, default is ~/.rezup
REZUP_ROOT_REMOTE Remote root of all containers but only recipe file
REZUP_NO_UPGRADE Disable auto upgrade if set (any value is valid except empty string)
REZUP_UPGRADE_PAUSE Pause version check after last upgrade, default 86400 (1 day, in second)
REZUP_UPGRADE_SOURCE Local source repository for upgrade, check from PyPI if not set.

Site Customize

YOu could set a python script file in ~/rezup.toml like so

# ~/rezup.toml
[init]
script = "/path/to/script.py"

If set, the script will be executed immediately on rezup launch. Which means, all the operations will be affected by that script. This also enabled to provide different setup base on username or other arguments.

Current use case is to load and set environment variables.

# /path/to/script.py
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv(os.path.splitext(__file__)[0] + ".env")
