Adding version tags for releases #5

Closed dvzrv closed 8 years ago

dvzrv commented 8 years ago

The pypi version is much ahead of your github version of the code. Can you use the tags here to get ready for pypi releases?

I'm planning to provide a package for this in Arch Linux AUR. I'd prefer a "release version" of this code instead of a "git version" there. Also: Using setuptools for that would be very awesome! https://github.com/pypa/setuptools

The current Pypi version lags the Github, even though they sport the same version numbers. There are a few trivial typos fixes and the value change and move of the sleep(.3) during the iteration of the socket. I was hoping they would go unnoticed at Pypi until it was sorted out.

The previous location would hammer the socket with 'it is here, yet?' line 117 if not waitin: return between a sleep designed to keep it from hammering the non-blocking socket the entire time.

The current locations will sleep 0.3 - 0.1seconds between empty sockets. Specific time is trivial. There is less granularity in cpu load for this location than the old, i.e., ranging 0.1-1.0 has less effect on load range than 0.1-1.0 did for the old, but offers faster response for this less cpu load.

The Pypi package has not been update with these incremental, or typographical fixes to consolidate them and forestall the 'version inflation' from a trail of build numbers, as Pypi won't update with incrementing. They mostly effect the examples.

That being said, they should be synced, or harnessed more closely.

If you want setup.py|cfg, the MANIFEST.in etc, and and the rest of the package flotsam/jetsam that can be done too. If I understand you correctly.

Yes, setup.{py,cfg} would be very good, as this way you can install it on a distribution level and are not stuck on using pypi.

Having this package in better "versioning shape" would have the benefit of offering a non-git package in Arch Linux AUR.

Btw. I'm planning on using it here: http://sonicbikes.net/ Will be a great companion to other sensor related scripts that we're planning to include!

Is this more what you were thinking?

Good idea on the bike, by the way. I wanted an offline map reader with gps track on my bike a couple of years ago, but was distracted by other shiny things.
