rod.recipe.appengine ZC Buildout recipe for setting up a google appengine development environment ==================== rod.recipe.appengine ==================== Buildout recipe for setting up a google appengine development environment. The rod.recipe.appengine is a zc.buildout recipe to build, test and deploy projects for the google appengine. It makes it easy to use eggs and resolve their dependencies automatically. To be honest, this is a recipe for scrambled eggs. It produces a zip file containing all configured external packages in a traditional folder hierarchy. A brief documentation ===================== This recipe takes a number of options: appengine-lib Path to an already installed appengine library eggs List of required eggs packages A list of packages to be included into the zip archive, which will be uploaded to the appspot. src The directory which contains the project source files. url The url for fetching the google appengine distribution zip-name The name of the zip archive containing all external packages ready to deploy. Tests ===== We will define a buildout template used by the recipe: >>> buildout_template = """ ... [buildout] ... develop = %(egg_src)s ... parts = sample ... ... [sample] ... recipe = rod.recipe.appengine ... eggs = foo.bar ... url = http://googleappengine.googlecode.com/files/google_appengine_1.2.3.zip ... """ We'll start by creating a buildout: >>> import os.path >>> import rod.recipe.appengine.tests as tests >>> egg_src = os.path.join(os.path.split(tests.__file__)[0], 'foo.bar') >>> write('buildout.cfg', buildout_template % {'egg_src': egg_src}) Running the buildout gives us: >>> output = system(buildout) >>> if output.endswith("Google App Engine distribution...\n"): True ... else: print output True And now we try to run the appserver script: >>> print system(os.path.join('bin', 'sample')) <BLANKLINE> ... Invalid arguments <BLANKLINE> There should be a configuration script in bin as well: >>> print system(os.path.join('bin', 'appcfg')) Usage: appcfg [options] <action> <BLANKLINE> ... <BLANKLINE> Changes ======= 1.2.1 2009-07-03 ---------------- - Uses a much better method for excluding optional c extensions and compiled modules. - A step forward in platform independence. 1.2.0 2009-06-24 ---------------- - Creates appcfg script. 1.1.1 2009-06-07 ---------------- - Makes symbolic links for application files. - Downloads stay untouched. 1.1.0 2009-04-08 ---------------- - Mostly rewritten. - Installs google appengine as part. - Adding dummy pkg_resources module to handle namespace package relicts. - Tests added. - Ready for Google App Engine SDK 1.2.0 1.0.0b5 2009-01-20 ------------------ - Requires Google App Engine SDK 1.1.8 1.0.0b4 2008-09-04 ------------------ - Create and use PROJECT_HOME/var to place temporary project files like data base files. 1.0.0b3 2008-09-02 ------------------ - Copy package contents to temporary library directory. 1.0.0b2 2008-09-02 ------------------ - Installs the whole distribution in the parts directory now.
