A package for Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code

[s-celles]

Hello,

it will be nice to have package for Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code.

Kind regards

Hi, I don't know if it's the exact same code but a package is available.

sudo pip install Adafruit_Libraries

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Adafruit_Libraries/0.1

It's definitely not the same code as it was last updated in 2013. It would be nice if there were a cronjob that kept the pip version up to date.

A __init__.py in each directory is necessary. A setup.py file is also required.

[liambeguin]

the setup.py file can be taken from the current package and updated

[s-celles]

setuptools might be prefered instead of distutils

see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6344076/differences-between-distribute-distutils-setuptools-and-distutils2

A LICENCE.txt file is necessary. I also noticed that README is a Markdown file (but PyPi doesn't render them correctly...). Maybe using RST might be considered.

I also noticed that in this PyPi package most directories were renamed

from setuptools import setup, find_packages
NAME = 'Adafruit_Libraries'

setup(
    name=NAME,
    version='0.x.y',
    author='Adafruit',
    packages=find_packages(),
    url='http://www.adafruit.com/',
    license='LICENSE.txt',
    description='Libraries for using Adafruit Hardware on a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black',
    long_description=open('README.md').read(),
)

I've just send a PR which provide a package. Pinging @ladyada @tdicola Could you have a look ?

[ladyada]

@tdicola has a Plan to do a major cleanup of this creaky repo including pep8, py3, and pypi...its quite a pppparty :)

I was wondering how this is coming. I checked the current project and no init.py files exist yet so I assume the package-ability is not there yet. Will these files be in the git repo or only in the package on pypi/pip? Also, is there an ETA for a pypi/pip package?

[ladyada]

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_ADS1x15 and https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_MCP3008 are done

[mecworks]

So, each module will be its own package rather than one package that contains all Adafuit modules? I'm fine either way. Separate packages are easy to install just what's needed for a project, a single package that contains all of Adafruit's packages would ensure you have all packages and that they all work with each other.

[ladyada]

yep each package will be split off, it will make maintenance and cross-dependancies way easier. there is no ETA when they'll be done, its a lot of work, we're also fixing bugs and pulls at the same time

[mecworks]

Very cool. Thanks for the great work.

[scanner]

Not sure if this is helpful at all, but I have made two modules based on a combination of the Adafruit arduino code and the Adafruit Python GPIO module for the TSL2561 and HDC100x modules:

If you make one repository per module I suggest to use a template like cookiecutter https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

So you could make a project template with features such as PEP8 testing enabled when commit / PR occurs. https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code/issues/146

[mecworks]

Cookiecutter looks pretty cool. There's already defined cookiecutter templates for pip projects and python projects.

I would've voted for a single package. While it may make maintenance more difficult under the hood, the user experience would be a little cleaner.

A simple example:

from adafruit import GPIO
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.HIGH)

Another example:

from adafruit import Matrix8x8
m = Matrix8x8.Matrix8x8()
m.setPixel(4, 2, m.ON)

@caternuson we tried an it was simply not tractable for our developers. we wanted to keep working on it without going insane :) also, since we did it and its done, we'll be closing this issue. thx!
