python-cffi-grass: GRASS GIS Python's CFFI

Status

This repository is the result of a weeks worth of frustt and is based on cffi-exampl repository.

Example

Development

1. Clone the repository:

   $ git clone git@github.com:zarch/python-cffi-grass.git

2. Make sure that cffi, py.test, and tox are installed::

   $ pip install -r requirements-testing.txt

3. Run python setup.py develop to build development versions of the modules::

   $ python setup.py develop ... Finished processing dependencies for cffi-grass==0.1

4. Test locally with py.test::

   $ py.test test/
   =========================== test session starts ===========================

5. Test against multiple Python environments using ``tox``::

    ```bash
    $ tox
    ...

    congratulations :)
    ```

6. I prefer to use `make` to clean and rebuild libraries during development
   (since it's faster than `setup.py develop`)::

    ```bash
    $ make clean
    ...
    $ make
    python cffi_example/build_person.py
    python cffi_example/build_fnmatch.py
    ```
