Appveyor To Dist Downloader

appveyor-dist is a script that pulls a project's artifacts to your local machine, normally into your dist directory.

Appveyor is a continuous integration service that allows Open Source projects to build releases on their system, but to push the resulting packages onto PyPI requires a lot of configuration. This script lets you keep control of pushing to PyPI while automatically pulling the files off Appveyor.

Previously I was using appveyor-artifacts for this, but its focus is pretty much on downloading coverage files and trying to merge them, while I really just want to use the artifacts as-is for redistribution. I didn't wind up basing the code off their code, as it was rather over-kill for me.

Why the weird spelling of artefact?

That's apparently how Americans spell it, and I figure we'll follow Appveyor's API in the spelling even if it looks weird to Canadians and Brits.

Installation

pip install appveyordist

Usage

$ cd pyopengl
$ appveyor-dist --user MikeCFletcher --project pyopengl --dist ./dist
$ twine upload dist/PyOpenGL_accelerate-3.1.3-*.whl

You can pass the -f flag to force overwriting files in dist, by default only new files will be downloaded.

Note that we do not expect you to process the results or read them. We will simply crash if there's a failure, but we will log warnings if a job in the build/release has crashed/failed.

Requirements

Requires Python 3 and requests module, tests require tox and pytest.
