README

        
pypackage

=========

Create RPMs or DEBs from a requirement file.

Example

-------

Create a pip requirements file:

    

    $ cat pyvcf.txt

    cython

    pysam

    pyvcf

Run pypackage on it: 

    $ pypackage.py pyvcf.txt

    ...

    Created deb package {"path":"/home/james/Src/scratch/pyvcf_1.0_i386.deb"}

Install package and use:

    $ sudo dpkg -i pyvcf_1.0_i386.deb

    (Reading database ... 340558 files and directories currently installed.)

    Preparing to replace pyvcf 1.0 (using pyvcf_1.0_i386.deb) ...

    Unpacking replacement pyvcf ...

    Setting up pyvcf (1.0) ...

    $ vcf_filter.py

    usage: vcf_filter.py [-h] [--no-short-circuit] [--no-filtered]

What it does

------------

This script creates a virtual environment, uses pip to install your requirements, 

fixes up the environment to use the correct paths, creates links from /usr/local/bin

to any scripts and then uses fpm to build a DEB/RPM.

Why?

----

Because you want to ship an entire virtual environment and not rely on system 

packages for python or python libraries.

Installing

----------

For the moment, you need to install fpm (`gem install fpm`) and ensure it is 

on your PATH.  Then clone this repository and run `pypackage.py`.
