keg is a command line tool that creates a [kiwi](https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi) image description based on description snippets in a given GIT repository.
keg is written in Python, it uses [tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) to setup a development environment for the desired Python version. Make sure the Python development headers are installed (e.g. python36-devel)
Currently, there are 5 targets for tox:
- check: for code quality and integrity
- devel: for development
- doc: for building man pages
- unit_py3_8: to run unit tests with Python version set to 3.8
- unit_py3_6: to run unit tests with Python version set to 3.6
The following procedure describes how to create the development environment:
Let tox create the virtual environment(s):
$ tox -e devel
Activate the virtual environment
$ source .tox/3/bin/activate
Install requirements inside the virtual environment:
$ pip install -U pip setuptools $ pip install -r .virtualenv.dev-requirements.txt
Let setuptools create/update your entrypoints
$ ./setup.py develop
Once the development environment is activated and initialized with the project required Python modules, you are ready to work.
In order to leave the development mode just call:
$ deactivate
To resume your work, change into your local Git repository and run source .tox/3/bin/activate again. Skip step 3 and 4 as the requirements are already installed.
