One of the tools to create a Python box garden environment is buildout. I wrote a Makefile to create a buildout environment

At the beginning...

It is assumed that Python and virtualenv are already available.

Expected operation

The expected commands are:

make build: Create a buildout environment.
make clean: Delete the buildout environment.
make rebuild: Recreate the buildout environment.

make does make build.

Makefile and buildout.cfg

Makefile

I often use Makefiles when running buildouts. The following example describes the minimum required operations.

`Makefile`


# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Need virtualenv
.PHONY: all clean build rebuild

all: env bin/buildout build
	echo "buildout finished..."

clean:
	rm -rf bin parts eggs develop-eggs .installed env bootstrap.py

build: bin/buildout
	bin/buildout -c buildout.cfg

rebuild: clean build
	echo

bin/buildout: env
	curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buildout/buildout/master/bootstrap/bootstrap.py | env/bin/python

env:
	virtualenv --no-site-packages env
	env/bin/pip install -U setuptools

buildout.cfg You need the configuration file buyout.cfg for buildout. This setting does nothing.

`buildout.cfg`


[buildout]
parts =

Constitution

The file has the above Makefile and buildout.cfg in the same directory.

(py3k)$ ls
Makefile	buildout.cfg

Create an environment

Let's create a make build.

(py3k)$ make build
virtualenv --no-site-packages env
Using real prefix '/home/examples/.anyenv/envs/pyenv/versions/3.4.2'
New python executable in env/bin/python3.4
Also creating executable in env/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip...done.
env/bin/pip install -U setuptools
You are using pip version 6.0.3, however version 6.0.6 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
DEPRECATION: --download-cache has been deprecated and will be removed in the future. Pip now automatically uses and configures its cache.

(py3k)$

Let's check inside the working directory.

(py3k)$ ls
Makefile	bin		buildout.cfg	develop-eggs	eggs		env		parts

Makefile: Makefile for manipulating buildout. I created it myself earlier.
bin: This is the directory where the commands installed in the buildout environment are installed. Created when you build build.
buildout.cfg: Configuration file for buildout. This config file will be used if you build build.
develop-eggs: This is the directory where your own packages under development will be installed. Since it is installed in the same state as it was put in with pip -e, A link for the Python package will be created in this directory.
eggs: The directory where packages are installed.
parts: Files that become parts such as package settings and tools are placed.

Delete the environment

(py3k)$ make clean
rm -rf bin parts eggs develop-eggs .installed env bootstrap.py

Confirm that you have deleted it.

(py3k)$ ls
Makefile	buildout.cfg

At this time, the environment created by virualenv is also used. It's already rooted.

Delete and create the environment

Now let's run build rebuild.


(py3k)$ make rebuild
rm -rf bin parts eggs develop-eggs .installed env bootstrap.py
virtualenv --no-site-packages env

All I'm doing is do make clean and then make build.

Minimum Makefile and buildout.cfg to create an environment with buildout
