init.py

Initialize a Python project for development.

This project is not longer maintained

Getting started

Download init.py:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bachew/init.py/master/init.py

Check Python version:

$ python --version
Python 2.7.9
$ python3 --version
Python 3.4.2

init.py requires Pipenv, make sure that it's installed before proceeding.

Choose the Python version you want and initialize:

$ python3 init.py

Notice that init.py uses Pipenv to create virtualenv, you can locate the directory by running:

$ pipenv --venv

To spawn a new shell with activated the virtualenv, just run:

$ pipenv shell

init.py also installs Invoke and creates a very basic init task in tasks/__init__.py. Init task is run by init.py everytime you initilize a project, so it's the good place for you to put system installation commands there. You can invoke the init task after activating the virtualenv:

$ inv init

Outside of virtualenv you can run:

$ pipenv run inv init

But it's easier to work within activated virtualenv because you often need to run many commands:

$ pipenv shell
(venv-u0VWRkUS)$ inv -l
Available tasks:

  init

(venv-u0VWRkUS)$ inv init
echo tasks.py says hi
tasks.py says hi

init_config.py

init_config.py contains configuration for initialization.

Right now there's only one config item, which is check_python_version(), it's used to restrict the Python version. For example to restrict to only Python 3.4 and above:

def check_python_version(version):
    if version < (3, 4):
        raise ValueError('requires >=3.4')

invoke.py

init.py generates useful invoke.py for normal usage of Invoke, read the docs for advanced configuration.
