A recipe to build lxml

Project description

This recipe automates the installation of the lxml python package and, additionally, builds it statically against dependent libraries like libxml2, libxlst.

Detailed Documentation

Supported options

The recipe supports the following options:

egg

Set to the desired lxml egg, e.g. lxml or lxml==2.1.2

libxslt-url, libxml2-url

The URL to download the source tarball of these libraries from. Currently defaults to:

http://dist.repoze.org/lemonade/dev/cmmi/libxslt-1.1.24.tar.gz
http://dist.repoze.org/lemonade/dev/cmmi/libxml2-2.6.32.tar.gz
build-libxslt, build-libxml2

Set to true if these should be build. Needed for a static build.

static-build

true``or ``false

xml2-loction

Needed if libxml2 is not built.

xslt-loction

Needed if libxml2 is not built.

xslt-config

Path to the xslt-config binary. Not needed if build-libxslt is set to true.

xml2-config

Path to the xml2-config binary. Not needed if build-libxml2 is set to true.

force

Set to true to force rebuilding libraries every time.

Example usage

We’ll start by creating a buildout that uses the recipe:

>>> xsltconfig = "foo"
>>> xml2config = "bar"
>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = test1
... log-level = INFO
... index = http://dist.repoze.org/lemonade/dev/simple
...
... [test1]
... recipe = z3c.recipe.staticlxml
... xslt-config = %(xsltconfig)s
... xml2-config = %(xml2config)s
... """ % locals())

Running the buildout gives us:

>>> system(buildout)
Installing test1.
xslt-config: foo
xml2-config: bar
