| This document describes how to build a native Python source package |
| for distribution via Pypi. |
| |
| First configure the project using 'cmake'. You do not need to build or |
| install the project. See the INSTALL.md file at the project's top |
| directory for details. |
| |
| Once you have configured (via cmake) the project, go to the Python |
| bindings directory in the build directory. For example, assuming the |
| build directory is named 'build': |
| |
| $ cd build/proton-c/bindings/python |
| |
| In that directory there will be a 'dist' subdirectory - move to that |
| directory. |
| |
| You can now run the setup.py script from within the dist directory to |
| build your source distribution package. |
| |
| To build a Python source distribution: |
| |
| $ python ./setup.py sdist |
| |
| To build and install: |
| |
| $ python ./setup.py build install |
| |
| |
