  • MercurialRecipe

    A couple of months ago I wrote a small zc.buildout-recipe to allow the integration of data from some git repository into your workspace. Now I needed mostly the same functionality but for a Mercurial repository. Luckily, Tim Molendijk created a small recipe just for that available in the PyPI. Since the README isn't really included there, you probably also want to take a look at the project's repository on Bitbucket.

    To use it, simply configure a part like this:

    [django.piston]
    recipe = mercurialrecipe
    repository = http://bitbucket.org/jespern/django-piston/
    

    As with my git-recipe it supports the newest option (globally and locally) to prevent the repository from getting pulled every time you update the environment and it sets the location-part-variable so that you can access the data you just pulled.

    Really nice stuff. Thanks Tim.

  • Django & Buildout-slides translated

    Yesterday morning Nick Anderson contacted me and asked if I had an English version of my slides about using Buildout for Django-development that I made for a presentation at the Barcamp in Munich 2 weeks ago. I had totally forgotten about that. Originally I wanted to provide them in German and English but for some reason never did it. So here is now the English version of the slides. Enjoy :-)

  • distutils-recipe for buildout

    Today I released something I've planned to write for quite some time now: A very minimal recipe for zc.buildout that can install an arbitrary source distribution of a Python package. Sure, there is already collective.recipe.distutils out there and big kudos to Kevin Teague for his work there, but I had some minor problems with it. I also wanted to get some more practice when it comes to writing recipes for buildout. As always, you can find the result on PyPI and github.

  • Django & Buildout-Folien

    Am Sonntag wollte ich beim Barcamp München eine kurze Einführung zu Buildout als Entwicklungs- und Deployment-Hilfe für Django-Projekte geben. Auch wenn keiner gekommen ist, hier nun die Folien.

    Sie beschreiben kurz, wie man mit Buildout ein Django-Projekt verwaltet und auch ein entsprechendes WSGI-Script erstellt, ohne zusätzliche Biliotheken in den globalen PYTHONPATH installieren zu müssen.

  • First steps with zc.buildout: Simple recipe for git

    Just a small plug for a project I'm currently working on. I'm playing a little bit around with zc.buildout right now and have come to a point where I want to have dependencies not only as subversion-repository, distutils or egg. I simply end up with too many Python packages on github for not having a way to use them. So while still learning my way around buildout I wrote a little recipe to do just that: clone a git-repo and make it accessible as a part. With this you can define first of all where the repository is, and also what branch or explicit revision you want to have for your project.

    There is definitely still a ton of stuff missing that you'd find in any other zc.buildout recipe, but I see this mostly as a good way to finally find my way around :-) Anyway, you can find it on the PyPI with a source package and an egg for Python 2.6. The code is also available on github.com.
