Sphinx/Paver integration
Project description
This module provides an alternative integration of Sphinx and Paver. It supports calling Sphinx from within Paver using multiple configurations, and does not assume you only want to build HTML output.
Basic Usage
To use this module, import it in your pavement.py file as from sphinxcontrib import paverutils, then define option Bundles for “html” and/or “pdf” output using the options described in the task help.
For example:
import paver import paver.misctasks from paver.path import path from paver.easy import * import paver.setuputils paver.setuputils.install_distutils_tasks() try: from sphinxcontrib import paverutils except: import warnings warnings.warn('sphinxcontrib.paverutils was not found, you will not be able to produce documentation') options( setup=Bunch( name = 'MyProject', version = '1.0', # ... more options here ... ), # Defaults for sphinxcontrib.paverutils sphinx = Bunch( docroot='.', sourcedir='docsource', builder='html', ), # One configuration to build HTML for the package html=Bunch( builddir='docs', confdir='sphinx/pkg', ), # Another configuration with different templates # to build HTML to upload to the website website=Bunch( builddir = 'web', confdir='sphinx/web', ), # We also want a PDF file for the website, # so the instructions are included in the web # configuration directory. pdf=Bunch( builddir='web', builder='latex', confdir='sphinx/web', ), )
Tasks
After you have imported sphinxcontrib.paverutils in your pavement.py file, Paver will show two additional tasks. html takes the place of the task defined in paver.doctools and can be used to build HTML output. pdf uses the LaTeX builder and an external toolset such as TeXLive to create a PDF manual.
Configuration Parameters
- docroot
the root under which Sphinx will be working.
default: docs
- builddir
directory under the docroot where the resulting files are put.
default: build
- sourcedir
directory under the docroot for the source files
default: "" (empty string)
- doctrees
the location of the cached doctrees
default: $builddir/doctrees
- confdir
the location of the sphinx conf.py
default: $sourcedir
- outdir
the location of the generated output files
default: $builddir/$builder
- builder
the name of the sphinx builder to use
default: html
- template_args
dictionary of values to be passed as name-value pairs to the HTML builder
default: {}
Advanced Usage
You can also develop your own tasks by calling run_sphinx() directly:
@task @needs(['cog']) @cmdopts([ ('in-file=', 'b', 'Blog input filename'), ('out-file=', 'B', 'Blog output filename'), ]) def blog(options): """Generate the blog post version of the HTML for the current module. """ # Generate html from sphinx paverutils.run_sphinx(options, 'blog') blog_file = path(options.blog.outdir) / options.blog.out_file dry("Write blog post body to %s" % blog_file, gen_blog_post, outdir=options.blog.outdir, input_base=options.blog.in_file, blog_base=options.blog.out_file, ) if 'EDITOR' in os.environ: sh('$EDITOR %s' % blog_file) return
Cog Extensions
In addition to the html and pdf tasks, the package includes the function run_script() to be used with cog to insert the output of a command line program in your documentation.
This example of reStructuredText source using run_script():
.. {{{cog .. cog.out(run_script(cog.inFile, 'anydbm_whichdb.py')) .. }}} .. {{{end}}}
renders to:
.. {{{cog .. cog.out(run_script(cog.inFile, 'anydbm_whichdb.py')) .. }}} :: $ python anydbm_whichdb.py dbhash .. {{{end}}}
The lines prefixed with .. are comments, and do not appear in the final HTML or PDF output.
Arguments:
- input_file
The name of the file being processed by cog. Usually passed as cog.inFile.
- script_name
The name of the Python script living in the same directory as input_file to be run. If not using an interpreter, this can be a complete command line. If using an alternate interpreter, it can be some other type of file.
- interpreter=’python’
The external interpreter to use for the program. Specify ‘python’, ‘python3’, ‘jython’, etc.
- include_prefix=True
Boolean controlling whether the :: prefix is included. When chaining multiple commands together, the first instance would typically use the default and subsequent calls would use False.
- ignore_error=False
Boolean controlling whether errors are ignored. If not ignored, the error is printed to stdout and then the command is run again with errors ignored so that the output ends up in the cogged file.
- trailing_newlines=True
Boolean controlling whether the trailing newlines are added to the output. If False, the output is passed to rstrip() then one newline is added. If True, newlines are added to the output until it ends in 2.
- break_lines_at=0
Integer indicating the length where lines should be broken and continued on the next line. Defaults to 0, meaning no special handling should be done.
- line_break_mode=’break’
Mode to control how the line breaks are inserted. Options are:
- ‘break’
Insert the newline.
- ‘wrap’
Use the textwrap module to wrap each line individually to the specified width.
- ‘fill’
Use the textwrap module to wrap each line individually, inserting an appropriate amount of whitespace to keep the left edge of the lines aligned.
- ‘continue’
Insert a backslash (\) and then a newline to break the line.
- ‘truncate’
Break the line at the indicated location and discard the remainder.
Users
- PyMOTW
The Python Module of the Week package is built using Paver and Sphinx, including three forms of HTML and a PDF.
- virtualenvwrapper
The documentation for virtualenvwrapper includes the packaged HTML and a website using alternate templates.
History
1.6
include tox.ini in source dist
adjust interpreter for python3
redefine cog to allow it to run on specific input file(s)
compatibility with paver 1.2, and add support force a full build
1.5
Misc.
1.4
Add different modes for breaking lines in the output of run_script().
Incorporate a fix from Maciek Starzyk for issue #6 so docroot can be set to something other than ..
1.3
Added simple line-splitting to run_script().
1.2
Modified run_script() so that if ignore_error is False any exception caused by the external application is re-raised. This “breaks” a build if there is a problem generating the cog output in an rst file, and makes it easier to spot problems with the cog instructions.
1.1
Updated to include run_script() function.
1.0
First public release based on the versions of these functions developed for PyMOTW.
