@@ -110,40 +113,45 @@ Entry points and automatic script creation
Setuptools support automatic creation of scripts upon installation, that runs
code within your package if you specify them with the ``entry_point`` keyword.
This is what allows you to run commands like ``pip install`` instead of having
to type ``python -m pip install``. To accomplish this, consider the following
example::
setup(
#....
entry_points={
"console_scripts": [
"foo = my_package.some_module:main_func",
],
}
)
When this project is installed, a ``foo`` script will be installed and will
invoke the ``main_func`` when called by the user. For detailed usage, including
managing the additional or optional dependencies, go to :ref:`entry_point`.
to type ``python -m pip install``. To accomplish this, add the entry_points
keyword in your ``setup.cfg``:
.. code-block:: ini
[options]
entry_points =
[console_script]
main = mypkg:some_func
When this project is installed, a ``main`` script will be installed and will
invoke the ``some_func`` in the ``__init__.py`` file when called by the user.
For detailed usage, including managing the additional or optional dependencies,
go to :ref:`entry_point`.
Dependency management
=====================
``setuptools`` supports automatically installing dependencies when a package is
installed. The simplest way to include requirement specifiers is to use the
``install_requires`` argument to ``setup()``. It takes a string or list of
strings containing requirement specifiers::
setup(
#...
install_requires = "docutils >= 0.3"
)
``install_requires`` argument to ``setup.cfg``. It takes a string or list of
strings containing requirement specifiers (A version specifier is one of the
operators <, >, <=, >=, == or !=, followed by a version identifier):
When your project is installed, either by using pip, ``setup.py install``,
or ``setup.py develop``, all of the dependencies not already installed will
be located (via PyPI), downloaded, built (if necessary), and installed.
.. code-block:: ini
For more advanced use, see :ref:`dependency_management`
[options]
install_requires =
docutils >= 0.3
requests <= 0.4
When your project is installed, all of the dependencies not already installed
will be located (via PyPI), downloaded, built (if necessary), and installed.
This, of course, is a simplified scenarios. ``setuptools`` also provide
additional keywords such as ``setup_requires`` that allows you to install
dependencies before running the script, and ``extras_requires`` that take
care of those needed by automatically generated scripts. It also provides
mechanisms to handle dependencies that are not in PyPI. For more advanced use,
see :ref:`dependency_management`
Including Data Files

The distutils have traditionally allowed installation of "data files", which
are placed in a platform-specific location. Setuptools offers three ways to
specify data files to be included in your packages. For the simpliest use, you
can simply use the ``include_package_data`` keyword e.g.::
can simply use the ``include_package_data`` keyword:
.. code-block:: ini
setup(
...
include_package_data=True
)
[options]
include_package_data = True
This tells setuptools to install any data files it finds in your packages.
The data files must be specified via the distutils' ``MANIFEST.in`` file.
For more details, see :ref:`datafiles`
Development mode
================
Setuptools allows you to deploy your projects for use in a common directory or
staging area, but without copying any files. Thus, you can edit each project's
code in its checkout directory, and only need to run build commands when you
change a project's C extensions or similarly compiled files.
To do this, use the ``setup.py develop`` command. It works very similarly to
``setup.py install``, except that it doesn't actually install anything.
Instead, it creates a special ``.egg-link`` file in the deployment directory,
that links to your project's source code. And, if your deployment directory is
Python's ``site-packages`` directory, it will also update the
``easy-install.pth`` file to include your project's source code, thereby making
it available on ``sys.path`` for all programs using that Python installation.
