trytoncommunity-setuptools 0.4.0

Shortening the boilerplate in Tryton modules

Tryton modules normally contain and require a lot of boilerplate in setup.py. Not only this is a lot of duplicate code, also it is a burden to maintain this between different versions of Tryton.

This package allows moving most all the meta-data and options being somewhat “static” between Tryton modules and Tryton Versions into setup.cfg and using a quite terse setup.py only.

trytoncommunity-setuptools also supports the ‘module prefix mapping` quite some developers and integrators use.

Example setup.py:

from trytoncommunity_setuptools import setup, get_require_version

requires = ['lxml']
tests_require = [
    get_require_version('proteus'),
    'pycountry',
]

setup('trytoncommunity', 'country_order',
      requires=requires, tests_require=tests_require)

Corresponding example setup.cfg:

When using a PEP 517 compliant build tool e.g. build, you need to also provide a pyproject.toml file:

[build-system]
requires = ["trytoncommunity-setuptools >= 0.3"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta:__legacy__"
