flot 0.6.1

Install

$ pip install flot

Usage

Say you’re writing a module foobar — either as a single file foobar.py, or as a directory — and you want to distribute it.

1. Install flot if you don’t already have it:

   pip install flot

2. Create a pyproject.toml file in the directory containing the module. It will look something like this:

   [build-system]
   requires = ["flot"]
   build-backend = "flot.buildapi"
   
   [project]
   name = "foobar"
   version = "1.0.0"
   description = "foobar frobinator"
   authors = [{name = "Sir Robin", email = "robin@camelot.uk"}]
   
   [project.urls]
   Home = "https://github.com/sirrobin/foobar"
   
   [tool.flot]
   includes = ["foobar.py"]

   You can edit this file to add other metadata, for example to set up command line scripts. See the pyproject.toml page of the documentation.

3. Run this command to build your wheel in the dist/ directory:

   flot

Once your package is published to PyPI (like with the twine tool), people can install it using pip or any other Python packaging tool just like any other package.

4. Say you’re writing a second module baz as a single file baz.py. Just create a second file named for instance baz-pyproject.toml. It will look something like this:

   [build-system]
   requires = ["flot"]
   build-backend = "flot.buildapi"
   
   [project]
   name = "baz"
   version = "1.0.0"
   description = "baz frobinator"
   authors = [{name = "Sir Robin", email = "robin@camelot.uk"}]
   
   [project.urls]
   Home = "https://github.com/sirrobin/foobar"
   
   [tool.flot]
   includes = ["baz.py"]

5. Run this command to build a second wheel in the dist/ directory:

   flot --pyproject baz-pyproject.toml
