How to make taxcalc packages for a Tax-Calculator release

Here is an example of a bash shell script that uses the policybrain-builder CLI, pb (release 0.1.0), to build and upload conda taxcalc packages for Python 3.6 for a specified Tax-Calculator release (0.21.0 or later).

Before executing this bash script be sure that the conda-build package is installed. If it is not installed, then execute this command: conda install conda-build. And also be sure you have executed python setup.py install in the top directory of the policybrain-builder directory tree, as described in the README.md file.

Here are the contents of the bash shell script, which is called release-taxcalc-packages.sh:

policybrain-builder$ pb --version pb, version 0.1.0

policybrain-builder$ cat release-taxcalc-packages.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Script to build and upload taxcalc packages for specified release using
# policybrain-builder CLI, pb, with a single parameter, TAG (e.g., 0.22.1)
# USAGE: ./release-taxcalc-package.sh TAG

echo "STARTING : `date`"

TOKEN=<secret-token>
OPTIONS="--token $TOKEN --clean --label main --python 3.6"
pb release $OPTIONS taxcalc=$1 2>&1 | awk '$1~/\[taxcalc\]/'

conda build purge
find ~/anaconda3/conda-bld -name "*tar.bz2" -exec rm -f {} \;

echo "FINISHED : `date`"
exit 0

Here's a recent use example:

iMac:policybrain-builder mrh$ ./release-taxcalc-packages.sh 0.21.0

FINISHED : Tue Sep 11 13:24:14 EDT 2018

Note that this script builds four packages: four platforms (osx-64, linux-64, win-32, win-64) and one Python version (3.6).

And finally, here is what things look like on www.anaconda.org after the bash script finishes execution:
