Get your executable, launch your logic with something like my_exec -m my_package --arg1 value1.
Job is done.
On top of that, you can store all the previous executables from earlier version of your job and run regressions tests.
It offers the packaging feature that we want.
At the end of the build, we get a *.pex file that we can later use as myproject.pex -m my_package --arg1 value1.
It gives the basic blocks to build a pex with your python package.
In short, run the following commands to see how your project can be built as an executable
tox
./dist/app.pex -m my_project
What this does is :
- Build the package requirements in a virtual env
- Install your custom package
- Create a zip that will be the .pex file
- you can launch your __main__.py with the second line of the command line
