mypypi 1.0.1

INSTALL

The installation process is very simple and described in the INSTALL.txt file.

SETUP

After you have a working MyPyPi server setup, you have to configure your projects if you like to have real protection. We use an enhanced setup.py file in our packages which will prevent a release to pypi.python.org. Such a setup.py change will also make the release process easier:

The changed setup.py in your private egg should look like:

setup(
    name='smart',
    version = '1.0.0',
    url='http://pypi.your-domain.tld',
    license='commercial',
    description='Be smart',
    author='Adam Groszer, Roger Ineichen',
    author_email='dev@your-domain.tld',
    long_description='\n\n'.join([
        open('README.txt').read(),
        open('CHANGES.txt').read(),

    packages=find_packages('src'),
    package_dir = {'': 'src'},
    namespace_packages=[],
    extras_require = dict(
      test = [
          'z3c.coverage',
          'z3c.jsonrpc',
          'z3c.testing',
          'zope.testing',
          ],
      ),
    install_requires=[
      'setuptools',
      'zope.interface',
     ],
    include_package_data = True,
    zip_safe = False,
)

As you can see we lock the server to a given URL within the line:

LOCK_PYPI_SERVER = "http://pypi.your-domain.tld/eggs"

After doing the above changes to your setup.py file, you can issue:

python setup.py register sdist upload

or just:

python setup.py sdist upload

The lock method will ensure that the repository only get released to the right repository and prevents that the egg get published by accident to the official pypi.python.org server at any time.

BUILDOUT

Since we use a HTTPS connection, we have to improve our buildout.cfg file and use the lovely buildouthttp recipe which enables SSL support. See lovely.buildouthttp for more information about this recipe. Also make sure you setup the required information like described in the lovely recipe if you use the recipe the first time.

You private egg buildout.cfg should look like:

[buildout]
prefer-final = true
extends = http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/3.4.0/versions.cfg
versions = versions
develop = .
index = https://pypi.foobar.ch/private
extensions = lovely.buildouthttp
parts = test

[test]
recipe = zc.recipe.testrunner
eggs = smart [test]

As you can see, our mypypi server is used as the index. We use the private page at https://pypi.your-domain.tld/private because this page forces the urllib handler to use the basic auth realm authentication. Again; note this requires a working lovely.buildouthttp setup using a .httpauth file in your HOME folder. Such a .httpauth file looks like:

pypi,https://pypi.your-domain.tld,your-login,your-password

Note the realm is always pypi. This is defined at the serverside and could not get changed. Of course could we change the realm in our mypypi server, but since setuptools uses this hardcoded realm (eeek), buildout upload would not work anymore if we would change the realm to something else. Let us know if this will become a real problem for you.

configuration

This package contains a configuration script which is not usual in a distribution package like this. The configure script can be used for initialize or change the server configuration before or after you installed this package.

the recommented steps are:

- python configure.py

- python bootstrap.py

- bin/buildout (on *nix) or bin\buildout.exe (on windows)

The configure.py can get used before or after running bootstrap and buildout as python configure.py.

The configure.py script allows you to choose devmode, localhost, port and management user login settings. All the collected values get written to the app.cfg file which is included in buildout.cfg.

If you don’t like to use the configure.py script at any time, we recommend to write your own app.cfg e.g. myapp.cfg and include them in buildout.cfg extends and exclude the existing app.cfg. This will prevent you from override the app.cfg by using the configure.py script.

step by step

First checkout the mypypi package from pypi.python.org and store it on your mypypi server.

As next, before we call python bootstrap.py, run the configure.py script with the following command:

python configure.py

This will ask you for some input like:

Would you like to setup with devmode (y/n): y
Choose your server hostname: localhost
Choose your server port: 8080
Note:
Distutils does not work with a port other then 80.
Use a proxy server running at port 80 for access the
MyPyPi server at port 8080

Choose a managment user login: Manager
Choose a management user password: password
Choose a password encryption (plain/md5/sh1): plain
Generated configuration file 'app.cfg'

---------------------------------------------------------------
New buildout configuration files successfully created
You have to run bootstrap and buildout now

After running buildout there is a configure script installed
You can run this counfiguration script again with bin/configure
---------------------------------------------------------------

After setup the app.cfg file within the configure.py script, you can run bootstrap.py as usual with the following command:

python bootstrap.py

After bootstrap you can run buildout as usual with the following command:

bin/buildout

After setup your mypypi server with buildout, you can test your installation with the following command:

bin/test -py1

There is also a coverage recipe installed which you can use as usual with the following commands:

bin/coverage-test
bin/coverage-report

After running the converage scripts, you can see the generated coverage report in the new generated coverage/report folder. There should be an all.html file which you can start with.

Congratulations, you just configured and installed your mypypi server. If you like to use another ip/port, devmode or manager user login, you can just reconfigure your setup with calling configure again with the following command:

python configure.py

This will again ask you for some input like:

Would you like to setup with devmode (y/n): y
Choose your server hostname: localhost
Choose your server port: 8080
Note:
Distutils does not work with a port other then 80.
Use a proxy server running at port 80 for access the
MyPyPi server at port 8080

Choose a managment user login: Manager
Choose a management user password: password
Choose a password encryption (plain/md5/sh1): plain
Generated configuration file 'app.cfg'

---------------------------------------------------------------
New buildout configuration files successfully created
You have to restart your server now
---------------------------------------------------------------

Recognize the note in the generated output. Your new app.cfg configuration file will only get used after you restart the mypypi server.

After you reconfigured your server, the old configuration file called app.cfg get renamed to app.cfg-<year><month><day>-<hour>-<minute> This means you can simply revert your changes if you rename an old app.cfg* file to app.cfg and restart your server.

start

Now you can start your new mypypi server with the following command:

bin/app

nix

We recommend to use spervisord as a autostart option for mypypi. But any other concept like using a init.d script should work for mypypi. A simple supervisord programm like this should work:

[program:mypypi] directory = <mypypi root path> command = <mypypi root path>/bin/app priority = 10 autostart = true autorestart = true

windows

There is also a windows service installation script. You can simply run the windows service installation with the following command:

python bin\winservice.py install

You can also remove the service with the following command:

python bin\winservice.py remove

run the follwoing command windows service management for more options:

python bin\winservice.py help

After install your service, go to the serivce controll panel and check the service configuration. The service get installed as MYPYPI Windows Service. If you like to rename the service make sure you removed a previous service installation, change winservice configuration section in buildout.cfg and run buildout again. After that install your service again like described above. Changing your winservice configuration in buildout.cfg should be compatible with the configure.py script concept like any other option in buildout.cfg.
