Dump buildout picked versions.
Project description
buildout.dumppickedversions
Q: What is a buildout extension ?
A: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout#extensions
The problem
When using a zc.buildout based deployment system you want to be able to reproduce the same setup with the same set of egg versions one month later. Without pinning all eggs the task is impossible.
Solution
buildout.dumppickedversions is a buildout extension that does just that. It can print or generate a versions.cfg file with all not pinned eggs.
It adds also a comment before each egg picked by zc.buildout as requirment for other eggs containing the list of eggs that required it.
buildout.dumppickedversions requires zc.buildout 1.5 or later.
buildout.dumppickedversions options
- dump-picked-versions-file
A file name you want buildout.dumppickedversions to write to. If not given buildout.dumppickedversions will dump the versions to the screen.
- overwrite-picked-versions-file
If set to true, buildout.dumppickedversions will overwrite the file defined in dump-picked-versions-file if it exists. Defaults to True.
Detailed Documentation
Let’s create an egg to use it in our tests:
>>> mkdir('myegg') >>> write('myegg', 'setup.py', ... ''' ... from setuptools import setup ... setup(name='myegg', version='1.0',) ... ''') >>> write('myegg', 'README', '') >>> print system(buildout+' setup myegg bdist_egg'), # doctest: +ELLIPSIS Running setup script 'myegg/setup.py'. ...
Now let’s create a buildout to install the egg and to use buildout.dumppickedversions:
>>> write('buildout.cfg', ... ''' ... [buildout] ... extensions = buildout.dumppickedversions ... parts = foo ... find-links = %s ... index = http://pypi.python.org/simple ... [foo] ... recipe = zc.recipe.egg ... eggs = myegg ... ''' % join('myegg', 'dist'))
Running the buildout will print information about picked versions:
>>> print system(buildout), # doctest: +ELLIPSIS Getting distribution for 'buildout.dumppickedversions'. ... *************** PICKED VERSIONS **************** [versions] myegg = N.N setuptools = N.N zc.buildout = N.N zc.recipe.egg = N.N <BLANKLINE> *************** /PICKED VERSIONS ***************
To dump picked versions to a file, we just add an dump-picked-versions-file option and give a file name:
>>> write('buildout.cfg', ... ''' ... [buildout] ... extensions = buildout.dumppickedversions ... dump-picked-versions-file = versions.cfg ... parts = foo ... find-links = ... %s ... index = http://pypi.python.org/simple ... [foo] ... recipe = zc.recipe.egg ... eggs = ... myegg ... ''' % join('myegg', 'dist')) >>> print system(buildout), # doctest: +ELLIPSIS Uninstalling foo. Installing foo. ********************************************* Writing picked versions to versions.cfg *********************************************
And here is the content of the file versions.cfg:
>>> cat('versions.cfg') [versions] myegg = N.N setuptools = N.N zc.buildout = N.N zc.recipe.egg = N.N <BLANKLINE>
Next time we run the buildout the file will be overwritten:
>>> print system(buildout), # doctest: +ELLIPSIS Updating foo. ********************************************* Overwriting versions.cfg *********************************************
When we don’t want to overwrite the file we just add an overwrite-picked-versions-file and set it to false:
>>> write('buildout.cfg', ... ''' ... [buildout] ... extensions = buildout.dumppickedversions ... dump-picked-versions-file = versions.cfg ... overwrite-picked-versions-file = false ... parts = foo ... find-links = ... %s ... index = http://pypi.python.org/simple ... [foo] ... recipe = zc.recipe.egg ... eggs = ... myegg ... ''' % join('myegg', 'dist')) >>> print system(buildout), # doctest: +ELLIPSIS Updating foo. ********************************************* Skipped: File versions.cfg already exists. *********************************************
If an eggA is installed as requirment for other eggs, you will get a comment line just before eggA with the list of eggs that required it.
Let’s show an example. We will install zope.component:
>>> write('buildout.cfg', ... ''' ... [buildout] ... extensions = buildout.dumppickedversions ... dump-picked-versions-file = versions.cfg ... parts = foo ... index = http://pypi.python.org/simple ... [foo] ... recipe = zc.recipe.egg ... eggs = zope.component ... ''') >>> print system(buildout), # doctest: +ELLIPSIS Uninstalling foo. Installing foo. Getting distribution for 'zope.component'. ... ********************************************* Overwriting versions.cfg *********************************************
and let’s see the content of the versions.cfg file:
>>> cat('versions.cfg') [versions] zc.buildout = N.N zc.recipe.egg = N.N zope.component = N.N zope.interface = N.N <BLANKLINE> #Required by: #zope.event N.N #zope.interface N.N #zope.component N.N setuptools = N.N <BLANKLINE> #Required by: #zope.component N.N zope.event = N.N
