as one of possible ideas, you can look at OSGi concept, that is used for plugin system management of Eclipse. It could be overkill for your specific case, but definitely the source of inspiration.
What you basically need to do is to override the build_ext command class in your setup.py and register it in the command classes. In your custom impl of build_ext, configure and call cmake to configure and then build the extension modules. Unfortunately, the official docs are rather laconic about how to implement custom distutils commands … Read more
This answered it for me (directly from the wheel PEP): Python needs a package format that is easier to install than sdist. Python’s sdist packages are defined by and require the distutils and setuptools build systems, running arbitrary code to build-and-install, and re-compile, code just so it can be installed into a new virtualenv. This … Read more
An example from the Ant documentation of how to get an environment variable into a property: <property environment=”env”/> <echo message=”Number of Processors = ${env.NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS}”/> <echo message=”ANT_HOME is set to = ${env.ANT_HOME}”/> In your case, you would use ${env.RELEASE_VER}. Then for the conditional part, the documentation here says that there are three possible attributes: Attribute Description … Read more
Maven jar plugin simply creates a jar files with all SOURCE files [.class files compiled from .java files] packed in it. However, a jar itself cannot be deployed as it generally has dependencies on 3rd party jar files or other library jar files which are needed to execute SOURCE jar file. This is where Maven … Read more
If you’re the package maintainer, and you want to host one or more dependencies for your package somewhere other than PyPi, you can use the dependency_links option of setuptools in your distribution’s setup.py file. This allows you to provide an explicit location where your package can be located. For example: from setuptools import setup setup( … Read more
You will get a nasty surprise when the number of files increase to more than one xargs command: Then you will first make a tar file of the first files and then overwrite the same tar file with the rest of the files. GNU tar has the –exclude option which will solve this issue: tar … Read more
Kind of a dup of this question about how to make a python into an executable. It boils down to: py2exe on windows, Freeze on Linux, and py2app on Mac.
Zip files take up less space on disk, which also means they’re more quickly read from disk. Since most things are I/O bound, the overhead in decompressing the packaging may be less than the overhead in reading a larger file from disk. Moreover, it’s likely that a single, small-ish zip file is stored sequentially on … Read more
Just package it anywhere in the jar. One thing you have to keep in mind though – before you can use the DLLs you need to actually extract these from the JAR and dump these on the hard disk somewhere otherwise you won’t be able to load these So basically – I did JNI project … Read more
