About

everyapp.bootstrap provides an enhanced and customizable virtualenv bootstrap script. It aims to make it easy to bootstrap a virtual environment for your project.

This project includes a tool to generate a bootstrap script that will automatically create the virtual environment when run. By placing the bootstrap script in the root of your project's source tree and making it available on a fresh checkout/clone from your version control repository, you make it easy for anyone who wants to hack on your project (including yourself!) to work in a consistent development environment.

Additionally, this enhanced bootstrap script can read a configuration file and perform additional actions beyond just creating a bare-bones virtual environment.

Features

  • Easy creation of a virtualenv bootstrap script.
  • Better defaults for virtualenv, like using distribute instead of setuptools and always unzipping EGGs.
  • Easy customization of the bootstrapping process.
  • Automatic installation of additional distributions using pip and/or easy_install.
  • Easy customization of pip and easy_install behaviour during distribution installation.
  • Automatic execution of additional commands after the bootstrapping is complete.
  • Adherence to Semantic Versioning in order to be a well behaved dependency.

Status

This project is very young and the code should be considered Alpha quality. It has been minimally tested on Linux and Windows, under Python 2.6 and 2.7, but has not yet been seriously tested on any platform.

That said, it is largely just a wrapper and a few customizations on the production-grade virtualenv project [1], so it should be reasonably stable. It should also be mostly feature complete.

Installation

The easiest way to install this distribution is:

pip install everyapp.bootstrap

or:

easy_install everyapp.bootstrap

For additional information on installing and upgrading, see the installation documentation.

Basic Usage

In your project's root directory, run:

mkbootstrap

This will generate a bootstrap.py script and a bootstrap.cfg configuration file. Edit bootstrap.cfg as desired, then run:

python bootstrap.py

This will create the virtual environment in the root directory for your project.

For additional bootstrap script options and usage information see the usage documentation.

Footnotes

[1]Strictly speaking, virtualenv classifies itself as Beta quality, but many consider it to be production-grade.
