setup.py examples?

Question

After studying this page:

http://docs.python.org/distutils/builtdist.html

I am hoping to find some setup.py files to study so as to make my own (with the goa

Answer 1

Look at this complete example https://github.com/marcindulak/python-mycli of a small python package. It is based on packaging recommendations from https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/distributing.html, uses setup.py with distutils and in addition shows how to create RPM and deb packages.

The project's setup.py is included below (see the repo for the full source):

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys

from distutils.core import setup

name = "mycli"

rootdir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# Restructured text project description read from file
long_description = open(os.path.join(rootdir, 'README.md')).read()

# Python 2.4 or later needed
if sys.version_info < (2, 4, 0, 'final', 0):
    raise SystemExit, 'Python 2.4 or later is required!'

# Build a list of all project modules
packages = []
for dirname, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(name):
        if '__init__.py' in filenames:
            packages.append(dirname.replace('/', '.'))

package_dir = {name: name}

# Data files used e.g. in tests
package_data = {name: [os.path.join(name, 'tests', 'prt.txt')]}

# The current version number - MSI accepts only version X.X.X
exec(open(os.path.join(name, 'version.py')).read())

# Scripts
scripts = []
for dirname, dirnames, filenames in os.walk('scripts'):
    for filename in filenames:
        if not filename.endswith('.bat'):
            scripts.append(os.path.join(dirname, filename))

# Provide bat executables in the tarball (always for Win)
if 'sdist' in sys.argv or os.name in ['ce', 'nt']:
    for s in scripts[:]:
        scripts.append(s + '.bat')

# Data_files (e.g. doc) needs (directory, files-in-this-directory) tuples
data_files = []
for dirname, dirnames, filenames in os.walk('doc'):
        fileslist = []
        for filename in filenames:
            fullname = os.path.join(dirname, filename)
            fileslist.append(fullname)
        data_files.append(('share/' + name + '/' + dirname, fileslist))
