Python Packaging Helpers (setuppy)

Helpers for setup.py, e.g. requirements.txt parsing, version bumping, custom setup.py commands

Inside of privex.helpers.setuppy.common there’s a variety of functions related to generating requirements.txt files, parsing requirements.txt files which recursively import other requirements.txt files, and handing automatic generation of extras_require from a folder containing requirements txt files.

Inside of privex.helpers.setuppy.bump - most notably is bump_version() - a function which detects a package’s version, increments the appropriate part of the version number, and then updates the python file containing the version number (e.g. an __init__.py)

Inside of privex.helpers.setuppy.commands there are command classes which can be loaded into setup.py to assist with building python packages, generating requirements.txt files from extras, as well as general management such as a BumpCommand which allows you to bump your package version with a simple ./setup.py bump --minor

More detailed usage documentation is available within each individual module’s documentation.
