Manage Python / Django projects

Project description

manageprojects - Manage Python / Django projects

tests codecov manageprojects @ PyPi Python Versions License GPL

Mix the idea of Ansible with CookieCutter Templates and Django Migrations to manage and update your Python Packages and Django Projects...

The main idea it to transfer changes of a CookieCutter template back to the created project. Manageproject used git to create a patch of the template changes and applies it to the created project.

install

Currently just clone the project and just start the cli (that will create a virtualenv and installs every dependencies)

e.g.:

~$ git clone https://github.com/jedie/manageprojects.git
~$ cd manageprojects
~/manageprojects$ ./cli.py --help

workflow

1. Create a new project

Use start-project command and a github url as Cookiecutter template, e.g.:

~/manageprojects$ ./cli.py start-project https://github.com/jedie/cookiecutter_templates/ --directory piptools-python ~/my_new_project/
~/manageprojects$ cd ~/my_new_project/your_cool_package/
~/my_new_project/your_cool_package/$ git init
~/my_new_project/your_cool_package/$ git add .
~/my_new_project/your_cool_package/$ git commit --message "my cool new project"

Note: https://github.com/jedie/cookiecutter_templates is a multi template repository, the piptools-python template is here: https://github.com/jedie/cookiecutter_templates/tree/main/piptools-python

After running the start-project command, look into the created files. Manage projects stores all needed meta information about the used Cookiecutter template into pyproject.toml, e.g.:

~/manageprojects$ cat ~/my_new_project/your_cool_package/pyproject.toml
...
[manageprojects] # https://github.com/jedie/manageprojects
initial_revision = "6e4c875"
initial_date = 2022-11-10T12:37:20+01:00
cookiecutter_template = "https://github.com/jedie/cookiecutter_templates/"
cookiecutter_directory = "piptools-python"

[manageprojects.cookiecutter_context.cookiecutter]
...

2. Update existing project

If the source Cookiecutter changed, then you can apply these changes to your created project, e.g.:

~/manageprojects$ ./cli.py update-project ~/my_new_project/your_cool_package/

After this, manageproject will update the own meta information in pyproject.toml by add applied_migrations with the information about the current Cookiecutter version, e.g.:

~/manageprojects$ cat ~/my_new_project/your_cool_package/pyproject.toml
...
[manageprojects] # https://github.com/jedie/manageprojects
initial_revision = "6e4c875"
initial_date = 2022-11-10T12:37:20+01:00
cookiecutter_template = "https://github.com/jedie/cookiecutter_templates/"
cookiecutter_directory = "piptools-python"
applied_migrations = [
    "dd69dcf", # 2022-11-22T19:48:28+01:00
]
...

How?

Everything is based on git ;)

  • manageprojects knows the git hash of the used Cookiecutter Template at creation time and the current git hash.
  • It builds a git patch between these two commits.
  • This patch will be applied to the created project sources.

So theoretically the changes in the template are applied to the project.

However, this does not work in every case, because git can't match the changes.

See below:

drawbacks

One problem is that git can't apply all changes.

But git apply is used with --reject. It applies the parts of the patch that are applicable, and leave the rejected hunks in corresponding *.rej files.

There is a cool tool, called wiggle: https://github.com/neilbrown/wiggle

It tries to apply rejected patches by perform word-wise diffs.

Just run wiggle via manageproject CLI, e.g.:

~/manageprojects$ ./cli.py wiggle ~/my_new_project/your_cool_package/
