pinliner 0.1.1

pinliner - Python Inliner

This tool allows you to merge all files that comprise a Python package into a single file and be able to use this single file as if it were a package.

Not only will it behave as if it were the original package, but it will also show code in exceptions and debug sessions, and will display the right line number and file when logging.

Imports will work as usual so if you have a package structure like:

.
└── [my_package]
     ├── file_a.py
     ├── [sub_package]
     │    ├── file_b.py
     │    └── __init__.py
     ├── __init__.py

And with pinliner installed you execute:

$ mkdir test
$ pinliner my_package test/my_package.py
$ cd test
$ python

You’ll be able to use generated my_package.py file as if it were the real package:

>>> import my_package
>>> from my_package import file_a as a_file
>>> from my_package.sub_package import file_b

And __init__.py contents will be executed as expected when importing my_package package and you’ll be able to access its contents like you would with your normal package.

Modules will also behave as usual.

$ virtualenv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install pinliner
