Introduction

The GMU PyPi template is for developers to install a set of files for starting a Python project at The Gregg & Mybrid Upgrade, Inc. This README.rst is displayed as help for the Makefile in this director. The utility of this template is to standardize on various Python project tools and configuration files for new Python projects.

If you are not a developer for The GMU then feel free to clone the git repo and salt-and-pepper to your taste.

git clone https://bitbucket.org/thegmu/thegmu-pypi-template

New GMU Python Project Instructions

# Minimal configuration
PROJECT_NAME=fun
PROJECT_DIR=fun
# 1. Create a Python3 virtualenv.
python3.6 -m venv ~/workspace/run/py36_$PROJECT_NAME

# 2. Create an empty Python3 project directory.
mkdir ~/workspace/gmu/$PROJECT_NAME

# 3. Activate the Python3 virtualenv.
. ~/workspace/run/py36_$PROJECT_NAME/bin/activate

# 4. Install thegmu-pypi-template.
# TEST: pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ thegmu-pypi-template
pip install thegmu-pypi-template

# 5. Change directory into the empty Python3 project directory.
cd  ~/workspace/gmu/$PROJECT_NAME

# 6. Run the install script to install the files into the current directory.
thegmu-pypi-template

# 7. Rename the project directory.
mv thegmu_pypi_template $PROJECT_DIR

# 7. Edit the Makefile and edit the four variables:
#    PROJECTNAME, PROJECTDIR, VENVDIR, PYTHON.

Makefile:PROJECTNAME:=fun
Makefile:PROJECTDIR:=fun
Makefile:VENVDIR:=${HOME}/workspace/run/py36_fun
Makefile:PYTHON=python3.6

# 8 Edit tox.ini and set the python version.
tox.ini:envlist = py36

# 9. Edit setup.py and change the NAME to your PROJECTNAME
#    and remove bin/thegmu-pypi-template script
setup.py:NAME = "fun"
setup.py:SCRIPTS = []

# 10. Edit tests/sample_test.py and change the import directory to your project.
tests/sample_test.py: from fun.sample import Sample

# 11. Validate the minimal configuraiton by running the following make commands.
make init
make test
make dist
make test-dist

# Complete configuration
# 12. Edit fully the configuration files.
#     The following is a list of files that will need to be updated
#     such as changing the email address, a new software version '0.1.0', etc.
#     Makefile - update variables
#     README.rst - complete rewrite
#     setup.py - update variables
#     $PROJECT_NAME/__init__.py - complete rewrite
#     $PROJECT_NAME/sample.py - delete
#     tests/sample_test.py - delete

Requirements

1. Encourage Python standards are followed for packaging and source.
2. Pylint for validating PEP8 standards of code.
3. Sphinx documentation to integrate with readthedocs.org
4. Test automation in the dedicated tests directory.
5. PyPi package deployment.
6. ReadTheDocs documentation deployment.

Tools:

1. autopep8: pep8 code beautifier
2. pylint: coding standards
3. pytest: test source
4. readthedocs.org: public documentation using sphinx
5. sphinx: html documentation
6. tox: test the source as installed package
7. twine: deploy the package to pypi.org, test.pypi.org
8. Makefile: run the tools

Configuration files:

1. .gitignore: ignore pylint, pytest, tox and build files as well .settings, .project, and .pydevproject directories from Eclipse.
2. .pylintrc: The GMU specific PEP8 suppression.

help:

Displays this file.

init:

Install Python tools used by this Makefile.
