I'm attempting to move a project from virtualenv
to buildout
, but I don't think I've grasped the whole concept of buildout
. All the tutorials I've found discuss buildout
in the context of using it with Zope
, which I'm not using and therefore can't see how to continue.
My file structure with virtualenv
is as follows:
myapp/
app.py
Which is run using /path/to/venvs/myapp/bin/python /path/to/myapp/script.py
.
With buildout
, my file structure is:
myapp/
app.py
bootstrap.py
buildout.cfg
Running python bootstrap.py
and bin/buildout
gives me these additional files:
myapp/
bin/
buildout
eggs/
setuptools-0.6c12dev_r80622-py2.6.egg
tornado-1.0.1-py2.6.egg
parts/
At this point I'm unsure how to "run" my app.
Advice?
The following recipe will, install tornado as an egg and create a python and myapp script in the bin directory with the correct search path to find the tornado egg.
[buildout]
parts = python
eggs = tornado
extra-paths = ${buildout:directory}
[python]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
interpreter = python
eggs = ${buildout:eggs}
entry-points = myapp=app:main
extra-paths = ${buildout:extra-paths}
