The idea is to move projects out of the pinax core and turn them into apps on pypi and github.
Making the project into an app is pretty easy with a setup.py and MANIFEST.in which includes all the non python files. For some reason sdist was adding all the files to the tar file but when installing from pypi they were removed. Switching to bdist_egg removed the issue but if you know what may cause that id love to know. I've modified the clone_project command to work with the bundled projects, projects on the python path and on pypi. To find project packages i'm looking for "pinax-project" in the Keywords meta data. If people like the idea we can use a trove classifier instead. clone_project takes a new option for requirements, when true it will install the project requirements.txt with pip. With these changes its now possible to see available projects on pypi, clone the project and have it ready to run with all its dependencies using the clone_project command. Like to know what you think of this approach to projects. Heres some examples of how to use the new clone_project command with my social-commerce project. Create project with an existing package --------------------------------------- mkdir test-site mkvirtualenv test-site --no-site-packages cd test-site workon test-site easy_install pip pip install -e git+git://github.com/hbussell/pinax.git#egg=pinax pip install -e git+git://github.com/hbussell/social-commerce- project.git#egg=social-commerce # changed pinax to instal Django 1.1 instead of 1.0.4 to work with satchmo pip install -r src/pinax/requirements/external_apps.txt pinax-admin clone_project social-commerce project # patch friend app lib/python2.5/site-packages/friends/models.py #43 replace: users = models.ManyToManyField(User) with: users = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name="contact_users") cd project python manage.py syncdb python manage.py runserver -------------------------------- Clone a project from pypi -------------------------------- mkdir test-site2 mkvirtualenv test-site2 --no-site-packages cd test-site workon test-site2 easy_install pip pip install -e git+git://github.com/hbussell/pinax.git#egg=pinax pip install -r src/pinax/requirements/external_apps.txt # you should see social-commerce listed under the pypi projects pinax-admin clone_project -l pinax-admin clone_project social-commerce project # patch friend app lib/python2.5/site-packages/friends/models.py #43 replace: users = models.ManyToManyField(User) with: users = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name="contact_users") cd project python manage.py syncdb python manage.py runserver --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pinax Core Development" group.
