Pythonic task execution

Project description

To find out what's new in this version of Invoke, please see `the changelog
<http://pyinvoke.org/changelog.html#0.16.1>`_.

Invoke is a Python (2.6+ and 3.3+) task execution tool & library, drawing
inspiration from various sources to arrive at a powerful & clean feature set.

* Like Ruby's Rake tool and Invoke's own predecessor Fabric 1.x, it provides a
clean, high level API for running shell commands and defining/organizing
task functions from a ``tasks.py`` file:

.. code-block:: python

from invoke import task

@task
def clean(ctx, docs=False, bytecode=False, extra=''):
patterns = ['build']
if docs:
patterns.append('docs/_build')
if bytecode:
patterns.append('**/*.pyc')
if extra:
patterns.append(extra)
for pattern in patterns:
ctx.run("rm -rf {0}".format(pattern))

@task
def build(ctx, docs=False):
ctx.run("python setup.py build")
if docs:
ctx.run("sphinx-build docs docs/_build")

* From GNU Make, it inherits an emphasis on minimal boilerplate for common
patterns and the ability to run multiple tasks in a single invocation::

$ invoke clean build

* Where Fabric 1.x considered the command-line approach the default mode of
use, Invoke (and tools built on it) are equally at home embedded in your own
Python code or a REPL:

.. testsetup:: blurb

fakeout = """
Hello, this is pip
Installing is fun
Fake output is fake
Successfully installed invocations-0.13.0 pep8-1.5.7 spec-1.3.1
"""
proc = MockSubprocess(out=fakeout, exit=0)

.. testcleanup:: blurb

proc.stop()

.. doctest:: blurb

>>> from invoke import run
>>> cmd = "pip install -r requirements.txt"
>>> result = run(cmd, hide=True, warn=True)
>>> print(result.ok)
True
>>> print(result.stdout.splitlines()[-1])
Successfully installed invocations-0.13.0 pep8-1.5.7 spec-1.3.1

* Following the lead of most Unix CLI applications, it offers a traditional
flag-based style of command-line parsing, deriving flag names and value types
from task signatures (optionally, of course!)::

$ invoke clean --docs --bytecode build --docs --extra='**/*.pyo'
$ invoke clean -d -b build --docs -e '**/*.pyo'
$ invoke clean -db build -de '**/*.pyo'

* Like many of its predecessors, it offers advanced features as well --
namespacing, task aliasing, before/after hooks, parallel execution and more.
