Wheeljack

Wheeljack helps manage dependent python projects. All related projects will live in $WHEELJACK_REPO and will interact with one another in the active virtual environment.

E.g. you may have a directory structure:

$WHEELJACK_REPO/
    foo/
    bar/

Where foo and bar are both python packages. In this environment you should be able to freely edit foo or bar and access one another by doing import foo or import bar. If you also do:

pip install bar

Your environment should favor the git working copy of bar over the pip installed package. This will allow you to work on packages and their dependencies fairly seemlessly.

Wheeljack expects you to use a virtualenv.

repos.conf

This is a yaml file which lists repositories in Github or Github Enterprise.

There are two main parts of the config. global which applies to all repos and repos which define individual repositories.

See example.conf.

install-repo

install-repo will install a repo from a repos.conf file to $WHEELJACK_CODE. We'll instruct the user to use the hub command to fork this repo.

TODO

• update-libs will update the current virtualenv:
  • It will git fetch origin/master on any repos in $WHEELJACK_CODE
  • It will pip install -r $WHEELJACK_CODE/**/requirements.txt for every installed requirement.
• Work with multiple python virutalenvs.
