About

Re-implementing bluepeppers/pip2arch with some improvements:

• Supports generating PKGBUILD contained multiple packages.
• Smarter package license detection.
• License file installation (by @brycepg).
• Maintainer information generation (by @brycepg).
• Supports generating PEP517 based installation instructments.

Installation

Install from AUR:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pip2pkgbuild.git
$ # for Python 2:
$ # git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/python2-pip2pkgbuild.git pip2pkgbuild
$ cd pip2pkgbuild
$ makepkg -si

Install from PyPi:

$ pip install pip2pkgbuild

Install manually:

$ cp pip2pkgbuild/pip2pkgbuild.py ~/bin/pip2pkgbuild
$ chmod u+x ~/bin/pip2pkgbuild

                     module

 positional arguments:
   module                The Python module name

   -b PKGBASE, --package-basename PKGBASE
                         Specifiy the pkgbase value, the first value in the
                         pkgname array is used by default
   -n PKGNAME, --package-name PKGNAME
                         Specify the pkgname value or the name for the Python 3
                         based package in a package group
   --python2-package-name PY2_PKGNAME
                         Specify the name for the Python 2 based package in a
                         package group
   -d [DEPENDS [DEPENDS ...]], --depends [DEPENDS [DEPENDS ...]]
                         Dependencies for the whole PKGBUILD
   --python2-depends [DEPENDS [DEPENDS ...]]
                         Dependencies for the Python 2 based package in a
                         package group
   --python3-depends [DEPENDS [DEPENDS ...]]
                         Dependencies for the Python 3 based package in a
                         package group
   -m [MKDEPENDS [MKDEPENDS ...]], --make-depends [MKDEPENDS [MKDEPENDS ...]]
                         Dependencies required while running the makepkg
                         command
   -o, --print-out       Print on screen rather than saving to PKGBUILD file
   -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
   -l, --find-license    Attempt to find package license to install
   --name NAME           Your full name for the package maintainer line e.g.
                         'yourFirstName yourLastName'
   --email EMAIL         Your email for the package maintainer line
   --pep517              Prefer PEP517 based installation method if supporting by the module

Examples

Generate a Python 2 based PKGBUILD for Django with pkgname "django":

$ pip2pkgbuild django -p python2 -n django

Generate PKGBUILD for Flask, containing both Python 2 and 3 packages with pkgbase "flask":

$ pip2pkgbuild flask -p multi -b flask
