appfy.recipe.gae

appfy.recipe.gae provides a series of zc.buildout recipes to help with Google App Engine development. It is inspired by rod.recipe.appengine, but using a different layout and with extended functionalities. It is also split in different recipes. Currently appfy.recipe.gae has 3 recipes:

appfy.recipe.gae:app_lib:
 Downloads libraries from PyPi and installs in the app directory.
appfy.recipe.gae:sdk:
 Downloads and installs the App Engine SDK.
appfy.recipe.gae:tools:
 Installs a python executable and several SDK scripts in the buildout directory: appcfg, bulkload_client, bulkloader, dev_appserver and remote_api_shell. It also allows to set default values to start the dev_appserver.

Source code and issue tracker can be found at http://code.google.com/p/appfy/.

For an example of how appfy makes distribution of App Engine apps easy and nice, see Moe installation instructions.

appfy.recipe.gae:app_lib

Downloads libraries from PyPi and installs in the app directory. This recipe extends zc.recipe.egg.Scripts, so all the options from that recipe are also valid.

Options
eggs:Package names to be installed.
lib-directory:Destination directory for the libraries. Default is distlib.
use-zipimport:If true, a zip file with the libraries is created instead of a directory. The zip filename will be the value of lib-directory plus .zip.
ignore-globs:A list of glob patterns to not be copied from the library.
ignore-packages:
 A list of top-level package names or modules to be ignored. This is useful to ignore dependencies that won't be used. Some packages may install distribute, setuptools or pkg_resources but these are not very useful on App Engine, so you can set them to be ignored, for example.
delete-safe:If true, always move lib-directory to a temporary directory inside the parts dir as a backup when building, instead of deleting it. This is to avoid accidental deletion if lib-directory is badly configured. Default to true.
Example
[app_lib]
# Sets the library dependencies for the app.
recipe = appfy.recipe.gae:app_lib
lib-directory = app/distlib
use-zipimport = false

# Define the libraries.
eggs =
    tipfy

# Don't copy files that match these glob patterns.
ignore-globs =
    *.c
    *.pyc
    *.pyo
    */test
    */tests
    */testsuite
    */django
    */sqlalchemy

# Don't install these packages or modules.
ignore-packages =
    distribute
    setuptools
    easy_install
    site
    pkg_resources
appfy.recipe.gae:sdk

Downloads and installs the App Engine SDK in the buildout directory.

Options
url:URL to the App Engine SDK file.
destination:Destination of the extracted SDK. Default is the parts directory.
clear-destination:
 If true, deletes the destination dir before extracting the download. Default is true.
Example
[gae_sdk]
# Dowloads and extracts the App Engine SDK.
recipe = appfy.recipe.gae:sdk
url = http://googleappengine.googlecode.com/files/google_appengine_1.3.5.zip
destination = ${buildout:parts-directory}
hash-name = false
clear-destination = true
appfy.recipe.gae:tools

Installs a python executable and several SDK scripts in the buildout directory: appcfg, bulkload_client, bulkloader, dev_appserver and remote_api_shell.

It also allows to set default values to start the dev_appserver.

This recipe extends zc.recipe.egg.Scripts, so all the options from that recipe are also valid.

Options
sdk-directory:Path to the App Engine SDK directory. It can be an absolute path or a reference to the appfy.recipe.gae:sdk destination option. Default is ${buildout:parts-directory}/google_appengine.
appcfg-script:Name of the appcfg script to be installed in the bin directory.. Default is appcfg.
bulkload_client-script:
 Name of the bulkloader script to be installed in the bin directory. Default is bulkload_client.
bulkloader-script:
 Name of the bulkloader script to be installed in the bin directory. Default is bulkloader.
dev_appserver-script:
 Name of the dev_appserver script to be installed in the bin directory. Default is dev_appserver.
remote_api_shell-script:
 Name of the remote_api_shell script to be installed in the bin directory. Default is remote_api_shell.
config-file:Configuration file with the default values to use in scripts. Default is gaetools.cfg.
extra-paths:Extra paths to include in sys.path for generated scripts.
Example
[gae_tools]
# Installs appcfg, dev_appserver and python executables in the bin directory.
recipe = appfy.recipe.gae:tools
sdk-directory = ${gae_sdk:destination}/google_appengine

# Add these paths to sys.path in the generated scripts.
extra-paths =
    app/lib
    app/distlib

Note that this example references an gae_sdk section from the appfy.recipe.gae:sdk example. An absolute path could also be used.

To set default values to start the dev_appserver, create a section dev_appserver in the defined configuration file (gaetools.cfg by default). For example:

[dev_appserver]
# Set default values to start the dev_appserver. All options from the
# command line are allowed. They are inserted at the beginning of the
# arguments. Values are used as they are; don't use variables here.
recipe = appfy.recipe.gae:tools
defaults =
    --datastore_path=var/data.store
    --history_path=var/history.store
    --blobstore_path=var/blob.store
    app

Each option should be set in a separate line, as displayed above. Options provided when calling dev_appserver will override the default values.

Versions

Version 0.9.2 - December 03, 2010
  • Changed requirements:

    zc.buildout >= 1.5.2
    z3c.recipe.scripts >= 1.0.1
    zc.recipe.egg >= 1.3.2
    
Version 0.9.1 - November 27, 2010
  • Readded option 'clear-destination' to the dowanlod recipe, true by default. It was causing an error when the files existed, and 'ignore-existing' wasn't avoiding it.
Version 0.9 - November 23, 2010
  • Scripts now extends z3c.recipe.scripts.scripts.Scripts, for better compatibility with buildout 1.5.2.
  • appfy.recipe.gae.sdk accepts a sha1sum option, to check the SDK checksum as provided by Google.
  • removed hexagonit.recipe.download as it was not flexible enough to allow the sha1 checksum check.
Version 0.8 - July 27, 2010
  • Do not raise IOError when egg info is not found, and let installation proceed only emitting a warning.
Version 0.7.2 - June 18, 2010
  • os.makedirs(), not os.mkdirs(). Ooops.
Version 0.7.1 - June 18, 2010
  • Minor enhancement: use os.mkdirs() instead of os.mkdir() when creating the backup for app_libs (Tom Lynn).
Version 0.7 - June 17, 2010
  • Added multi-line top_level support. Now it can handle eggs with multiple lines in top_level.txt. Thanks to Benjamin Kampmann for this (Issue #3).
  • Added ignore-packages option, useful to ignore setuptools, distribute and other dependency packages not useful on App Engine.
  • Single modules are now also matched by ignore-globs.
  • ignore-globs now removes the non-related path prefix for better matching.
  • Documented extra-paths, useful to add libraries directories to sys.path in scripts.
  • Several refactorings and cleanups.
Version 0.6.1 - June 3, 2010
  • Don't install package if egg info is not found, instead of breaking. This was causing a problem when setuptools is declared as dependency.
Version 0.6 - June 1, 2010
  • app_lib can now also install develop eggs.
Version 0.5.2 - May 27, 2010
  • Single files are correctly installed.
  • Namespaced packages are put in the same directory structure. This was causing an error when trying to create a directory for the second time.
Version 0.5.1 - May 17, 2010
  • appfy.recipe.gae:app_lib now extends zc.recipe.egg.Scripts, so that scripts from packages are installed, as before.
Version 0.5 - May 5, 2010
  • Dropped checksum checking, and now move files to a backup directory if delete-safe is true (which is the default). This makes the build faster and avoids the annoying invalid checksum errors.
Version 0.4.5 - May 5, 2010
  • Use tempfile.gettempdir() to save temporary files. Thanks, tlynn.
Version 0.4.4 - May 3, 2010
  • Unzip eggs by default in app_lib or we can't use some.
Version 0.4.3 - May 3, 2010
  • Only accepts multi-line configuration for gaetools.
  • Fixed tmpdir in app_lib.
Version 0.4.2 - May 1st, 2010
  • app_lib now extends zc.recipe.egg.Eggs and sets default eggs to an empty string, just to avoid errors.
  • More small refactorings.
Version 0.4.1 - May 1st, 2010
  • Removed primary-lib-directory option from app_lib.
  • Code cleanup and refactoring.
Version 0.4 - April 30, 2010
  • Fixed script path problem when buildout is configured to use absolute paths. Fixes issue #1. Thanks Lacrima.Maxim for the report.
  • Scripts now run using alter_sys=True, so that help messages that use __doc__ are displayed correctly.
Version 0.3 - April 29, 2010
  • Added config-file option to appfy.recipe.gae:tools, to define the configuration file used to set default arguments for the scripts.
Version 0.2 - April 29, 2010
  • Added bulkload_client, bulkloader and remote_api_shell scripts.
  • Fixed script entry-points: they were breaking on Windows; now they work.
  • All recipes are also tested and working on Windows now.
Version 0.1 - April 28, 2010
