This library will not receive any more updates. It has been forked to:

• ias_python3_script_infra2

During the course of improving things, the primary interface to creating an IAS.Infra object was changed away from requiring a single value, which corresponded to the location from which all relative paths from the "binary" were calculated. I'm now using sys.argv[0] for that, and that doesn't need to be passed in to the constructor.

This was necessary because I should have made the first and only parameter optional, and I should have made it a dictionary.

A framework has been developed so that programs (such as those written in Bash, Perl, and Python) use a (somewhat) standardized:

• source repository layout
• logging infrastructure
• file system layout when installed

The laouts mentioned above refer to:

• input directory
• output directory
• log directory (currently they log to syslog, I need to add the option of logging to files)
• configuration directory ('etc')

so that they behave nicely with each other.

This needs to be documented more.

You will want to install the code that creates project directories in the correct layout.

On all systems you need to install the fakeroot package.

On deb systems you need to install build-essential.

On rpm systems you need to install rpmbuild.

# Install the project template generator:
git clone https://github.com/theias/ias_package_shell
cd ias_package_shell
# If you're on a debian based system:
fakeroot make clean install debsetup debbuild
# If you're on an rpm based system:
fakeroot make clean install rpmspec rpmbuild

Install the package that was generated.

# Install the project template generator:
git clone https://github.com/theias/ias_python3_script_infra
cd ias_package_shell
# If you're on a debian based system:
fakeroot make clean install debsetup debbuild
# If you're on an rpm based system:
fakeroot make clean install rpmspec rpmbuild

Install the package that was generated. (notice the pattern? :) )

cd /var/tmp
/opt/IAS/bin/ias-package-shell/package_shell.pl
# Answer the questions.

# Add the sample app to your project template
cp /opt/IAS/bin/ias-python3-script-infra/app.py (name of resultant directory)/src/bin

... and have fun! (I hope!)
