xapp-tools 0.3.1

A collection of tools for working with xapp-core packages.

xapp-tools

Purpose

xapp-tools is an installable package of reusable build and development tooling for Xapp-based Python projects. Its role is to provide automation that is broadly useful across repositories, not app-specific behavior.

Usage

uv add xapp-tools --dev
xapp-tools --help

Available commands:

version — Version management

• xapp-tools version show — print the current version from pyproject.toml
• xapp-tools version set X.Y.Z — set an explicit version (strict SemVer)
• xapp-tools version bump [patch|minor|major] — bump the version
• xapp-tools version check-source — ensure no hardcoded __version__ in source

tag — Git tag management

• xapp-tools tag dryrun — print the tag without creating it
• xapp-tools tag create — create an annotated local git tag
• xapp-tools tag push — push the tag to origin

dist — Distribution artifacts

• xapp-tools dist verify — verify wheel and sdist build artifacts
• xapp-tools dist wheel-smoke — smoke-test the installed wheel in a clean venv
• xapp-tools dist api-snapshot — capture or verify the public API contract

Top-level

• xapp-tools coverage-badge — update the coverage badge in README
• xapp-tools update-deps — refresh all dependencies to latest versions via uv

Reuse Policy

Tools in this package should be written so they can be reused in other Python projects with little or no modification. When project values are needed, prefer metadata/config introspection (for example from pyproject.toml) over hardcoded constants.

Scope Boundaries

Only generic tooling belongs in this package.

Allowed examples:

• Dependency maintenance helpers
• Packaging/public API verification scripts
• Repository metadata utilities
• Generic release/build checks

Not allowed examples:

• Application/domain business logic
• Project feature commands
• One-off scripts tightly coupled to a specific app's runtime behavior

This packages offers a hatch hook that combines the README with the HISTORY.

In the package which implements xapp-tools add the follwoing the pyproject.toml:

requires = ["hatchling", "xapp-tools"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"

[tool.hatch.metadata.hooks.combined-readme]
