buildout.recipe.uwsgi 0.0.21

buildout.recipe.uwsgi

This is a zc.buildout recipe for downloading, installing and configuring uWSGI inside a buildout. It compiles an uWSGI executable in bin/ and a xml configuration file in parts/.

Forked from shaunsephton.recipe.uwsgi .

Changelog

0.0.21

• Check if you need to rebuild uwsgi when updating buildout (which didn’t work before because update didn’t return the list of installed paths).

• Always delete the build directory (even in case of errors).

• Call uwsgiconfig.py instead of make to install uWSGI. This let you choose which python you want to use.

• Check the version of uwsgi if it is already installed.

• Add an option to configure the path of the generated uWSGI configuration file.

0.0.20

• Fixed download cache issue; if download-cache is present in the [buildout] section, it will be used for caching the source archive of uwsgi after download

0.0.19

• Setting the PYTHON_BIN env variable to the current python interpreter (for building uwsgi with the right interpreter)

0.0.18

• Fixed issue #11

0.0.17

• Add option “pythonpath-eggs-directory” to tweak base directory of generated pythonpath configuration directives

0.0.16

• Documentation enhancements

0.0.15

• Add option download-url to configure non-vanilla download url

0.0.14

• Extra-paths fixes

0.0.13

• Minor code/documentation cleanups

0.0.12

• Fixed a bug when using ‘use-system-binary’ (was working backwards)

• Fixed build process when the part’s name was something other than ‘uwsgi’

0.0.11

• New option, use-system-binary, to skip building uwsgi

0.0.10

• Added the version option to allow downloading a specific version of uwsgi

• Added the possibility of specifying a certain build profile

• Options that should go in the generated .xml file should be xml- prefixed

Usage

Add a part to your buildout.cfg like this:

[buildout]
parts=uwsgi

[uwsgi]
recipe=buildout.recipe.uwsgi

Running the buildout will download and compile uWSGI and add an executable with the same name as your part in the bin/ directory (e.g. bin/uwsgi). It will also create a uwsgi.xml configuration file in a parts directory with the same name as your part (e.g. parts/uwsgi/uwsgi.xml).

uwsgi can then be started like:

$ ./bin/uwsgi --xml parts/uwsgi/uwsgi.xml

Configuration options

You can specify a number of options for this recipe, for “fine-tuning” the build process. Below is an example of all possible options that can appear in the buildout file:

[buildout]
parts=uwsgi

[uwsgi]
recipe=buildout.recipe.uwsgi
download-url=http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/uwsgi-{0}.tar.gz
version=1.2.5
profile=default.ini
use-system-binary=1
xml-socket=127.0.0.1:7001
xml-module=my_uwsgi_package.wsgi
xml-master=True

download-url

Specifies the url where uWSGI’s source code should be downloaded from. {0} inside this url will be replaced by the value of the version option. The default value of download-url is http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/uwsgi-{0}.tar.gz

version

Version of uWSGI to download (default is latest).

output

Path where the uWSGI configuration file is generated (default to a file called name of the part.xml in the parts directory).

profile

uWSGI has profiles (build configurations) which can be used to configure which plugins will be built with uWSGI (see https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/tree/master/buildconf). Default is default.ini. If the specified profile is an absolute path, then that is going to be used, otherwise the profile configuration is searched in uwsgi’s source folder (buildconf/), finally falling back to the current directory (where buildout is invoked from).

use-system-binary

It is possible to use an “external” uwsgi binary (installed by the OS’ package manager or compiled manually) and just let the recipe generate the xml configuration file only (no building uWsgi). Default is False.

pythonpath-eggs-directory

By default, the configuration generator will use absolute paths to python eggs, usually inside buildout:eggs-directory by calling zc.recipe.egg.Egg(...).working_set(). To support setups which require using the option relative-paths = true, this option allows to tweak the base directory of generated uwsgi pythonpath configuration directives, e.g.:

pythonpath-eggs-directory = /opt/vendor/product/python/eggs

xml-*

Any option starting with xml- will be stripped of this prefix and written to the xml configuration file; for example, xml-socket=127.0.0.1:7001 will be output as <socket>127.0.0.1:7001</socket>.

For any options that should not take an argument, specify the option with a value of true (case insensitive); for example xml-disable-logging = true will be output as <disable-logging/>.
