#Thriftipy Tool for auto-generation and packaging thrift idls for Python

Installation

$ pip install Thriftipy==0.0.1-dev

Usage

• Put this code snippet in setup.py where thrift-idls are in folder 'idls' and we wish to create package 'sample' to include the generated source.

from setuptools import setup, find_packages, Command
from thriftipy import ThriftGenerator

class generate_thrift(Command):
    description = ""
    user_options = []

    def initialize_options(self):
        self.idl_dir = 'idls'
        self.gen_dir = 'sample'
        self.gen = ThriftGenerator(self.idl_dir, self.gen_dir)

    def run(self):
        self.gen.generate()

setup(
    name='sample',
    ....
    include_package_data=True,
    package_data={'sample':['*.thrift']},
        cmdclass={'thrift': generate_thrift},
)

• Create a file MANIFEST.in and put this line in it. This will include all thrift idls in sample package.

include sample/*.thrift

• Run $ python setup.py thrift to generate python code from idls.

• Run standard packaging commands to package, install or upload it.
