DistChecker 0.1

Introduction

DistChecker helps with testing project sdist’s. Once installed the distchecker command will be available. So far all commands are expected to be run against a directory which is a project egg directory.

Initial setup can be generated by running:

distchecker --setup-config

Example usage is as follows:

# check to make sure the generated sdist is the same as the source
# files contained in the development directory
distchecker compare_sdist SomeEggDir

# install the given egg into a fresh virtualenv and print out
# information such as test coverage and the exact snapshot
# of dependent eggs that was used
distchecker test_sdist SomeEggDir

# in this case SomeEggDir is expected to be an egg
# providing a paster template ... running the command
# will install the egg into a fresh virtualenv and then
# create a new egg based on the given paster template and
# run its tests
distchecker test_paster_template SomeEggDir somepastertemplate

Please be aware that the temporary virtualenv directories created are not currently removed due to debugging purposes.
