petrus
Advanced tools
Create/autocomplete/format a python project and upload it to PyPI.
To install petrus, you can use pip. Open your terminal and run:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install petrus
The petrus package provides the functions main and run. main provides the CLI. To familiarize us with petrus it may be a good starting point to use the help option of main:
.. code-block:: bash
# bash
python3 -m petrus -h
or
.. code-block:: python
# python
import petrus
petrus.main(["-h"])
The arguments of main can also be used analogously on the function run (except for the flags -h and -V).
.. code-block:: python
# The following lines are all identical:
petrus.main(["--author", "John Doe", "path/to/project"])
petrus.main(["--author=John Doe", "path/to/project"])
petrus.main(["--author", "John Doe", "--", "path/to/project"])
petrus.run("path/to/project", author="John Doe")
petrus.run(author="John Doe", path="path/to/project")
petrus.run("path/to/project", author="John Doe", email=None)
If an option is not used (i.e. given the value None) it defaults to the value provided in the default table in the included file config.toml (if existent).
.. code-block:: toml
[default]
author = "Johannes"
description = ""
email = "johannes-programming@mailfence.com"
github = "johannes-programming"
requires_python = "{preset} \\| {current}"
v = "bump(2, 1)"
year = "{current}"
[general]
root = ""
If that fails the arguments default to the empty string. The empty string itself usually results in skipping whatever steps required the information.
The general.root setting allows to change directory even before path is applied.
It is recommended to create a config.toml file inside the petrus package before usage.
