appbundler

Zip and app, all it's dependencies, and any other data.

Installation

pip install appbundler

Usage

After installation you will be able to run:

appbundler /path/to/appbundler.toml

The appbundler.toml config file must exist in the app's root directory.

Alternatively,

python -m appbundler -h

appbundler.toml

The appbundler.toml contains app information such as the package/library being installed, any additional 'supplemental' data to be brought into the build.

Data examples:

• [data.example1]
  • The whole root directory will be copied to the build directory and the directory structure will be preserved.
• [data.example2]
  • Any csv file in the sub_directory of root will be copied to the build directory and the directory structure will be preserved.
• [data.example3]
  • All json files in entirety of the root directory will be recursively copied to the build directory. Also, due to flatten all file will be copied to the root of the build directory.

# Example appbundler configuration file.

package="myapp"

[data]

  [data.example1]
  root="/user/example1"

  [data.example2]
  root="/user/example2"
  sub_directory="/sub"
  pattern="*.csv"
  
  [data.example3]
  root="./example3"
  pattern="*.json"
  recursive=true
  flatten=true

Basic flow

1. App requirements will be installed via requirements.txt, setup.py, or pyproject.toml files.
2. Clean up the directories by removing __pycache__ and .pyc files. Reduce the zip file size as much as possible.
3. Handle all supplemental data.
4. Zip the build directory.
