Additional packages for the Python language binding for ev3dev.
A fabric recipe file (fabfile.py) if provided for simplifying repetitive tasks. The
available tasks are :
- make_setup
- generates the effective
setup.pyfile, using thesetup-template.pytemplate. It updates the version setting using available git tags. This is done this way so that the setup script can be run on the target, where git context is not available. - build
- builds the distribution package, according to the format specified in the
pkg_formatenvironment variable. Supported formats are : egg, sdist, wheel - deploy
- deploys the generated archive on the connected target, as identified by the
hostsenvironment variable - install
- executes the installation command on the target
- doc
- generates the documentation
- demos
- deploy the demonstration programs and their data
- make_all
- chains
make_setuptoinstalltasks. It is the default task if thefabcommand is invoked without a task name
To customize the fabfile without modifying it, you can add settings such as sudo passwords or
hostname overrides in a plain Python file name fabconfig.py located in the same directory.
If it exists, it is imported after the definitions of environment variables and before the tasks
definitions.
A detailed Sphinx generated documentation is provided in the docs sub-tree. To generate
it, you can either execute make html from the docs subdir, or more conveniently
use the fab doc command which will take care of going to the right place and issue the
make from there.
