GROS Python server framework

This repository contains a framework for setting up a Web application based on Python modules, using CherryPy for routing.

This framework is used for a few servers within the Grip on Software pipeline, namely the deployer and status-dashboard repositories.

Building

Some functionality is based on the data gathering modules and require a proper installation of that package. If a PyPI registry is defined (possibly with a PIP_REGISTRY environment variable) and a proper installation location (such as a virtual environment) is known, the dependencies may be installed using pip install -r requirements.txt.

Use python setup.py sdist followed by python setup.py bdist_wheel in order to generate a wheel package for the framework. The files can then be found in the dist directory (and installed from there using pip install <path>).

The Jenkinsfile in this repository contains steps to build the package and upload it to a PyPi-based repository so that it may be installed from there, when built on a Jenkins CI server.
