Project description
Support the project
If your company has embedded pyexcel and its components into a revenue generating product, please support me on patreon to maintain the project and develop it further.
If you are an individual, you are welcome to support me too on patreon and for however long you feel like to. As a patreon, you will receive early access to pyexcel related contents.
With your financial support, I will be able to invest a little bit more time in coding, documentation and writing interesting posts.
Introduction
pyexcel-gantt draws gantt chart using frappe-gantt.js for pyexcel data. Credit goes to frappe’s gantt chart
Here is a sample csv file:
id,name,start,end,progress,dependencies,custom_class Task 1,Writing pyexcel-gantt,2017-07-17,2017-07-18,80,, Task 2,Test pyexcel-gantt,2017-07-19,2017-07-20,10,Task 1,, Task 3,Write up the documentation,2017-07-21,2017-07-22,0,Task 1,, Task 4,Release pyexcel-gantt,2017-07-23,2017-07-23,0,"Task 2, Task 3",,bar-milestone
What you can do is to view it with pyexcel’s command line interface:
pyexcel view –in-browser –output-file-type gantt.html demo/tasks.csv
Programmatically, you can do the following:
import pyexcel as p
p.save_as(file_name='tasks.csv',
dest_file_name='tasks.gantt.html')Alternatively, you can save the file as:
$ pyexcel transcode tasks.csv tasks.gantt.htmlInstallation
You can install it via pip:
$ pip install pyexcel-ganttor clone it and install it:
$ git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-gantt.git
$ cd pyexcel-gantt
$ python setup.py installDevelopment guide
Development steps for code changes
cd pyexcel-gantt
Upgrade your setup tools and pip. They are needed for development and testing only:
pip install –upgrade setuptools pip
Then install relevant development requirements:
pip install -r rnd_requirements.txt # if such a file exists
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
Once you have finished your changes, please provide test case(s), relevant documentation and update CHANGELOG.rst.
How to test your contribution
Although nose and doctest are both used in code testing, it is adviable that unit tests are put in tests. doctest is incorporated only to make sure the code examples in documentation remain valid across different development releases.
On Linux/Unix systems, please launch your tests like this:
$ make
On Windows systems, please issue this command:
> test.bat
How to update test environment and update documentation
Additional steps are required:
pip install moban
git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-commons.git commons
make your changes in .moban.d directory, then issue command moban
What is pyexcel-commons
Many information that are shared across pyexcel projects, such as: this developer guide, license info, etc. are stored in pyexcel-commons project.
What is .moban.d
.moban.d stores the specific meta data for the library.
