Python打包用户指南(Python Packaging User Guide

1.1 安装Setuptools

  • 目前官网新版本Python的安装包已自带pip(封装了setuptools),并不需要手工安装;
  • 也可通过pip安装新版本;
$ pip3 show setuptools
Name: setuptools
Version: 40.0.0
Summary: Easily download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages
Home-page: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
Author: Python Packaging Authority
Author-email: distutils-sig@python.org
License: UNKNOWN
Location: c:python36libsite-packages
Requires:
Required-by: PyInstaller, pipenv, kiwisolver, ipython, html5lib

1.2 简单的安装脚本

1.3 获得帮助信息

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

“--help”

$ py -3 setup.py --help

“--help-commands”

$ py -3 setup.py --help-commands

命令sdist(Source distribution)

$ py -3 setup.py sdist --help

2- 构建模块(执行build命令

  • 确保所在目录有模块文件hello.py;
  • 执行后,将创建build目录及子目录lib,同时将模块文件hello.py复制到子目录中;
  • 目录build:setuptools在此目录组装包以及编译扩展库等;
$ ls -l
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 guowli 1049089  39 Oct 11 16:57 hello.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 guowli 1049089 251 Oct 11 17:00 setup.py


$ cat -n hello.py
     1  # coding=utf-8
     2  print("This is a test!")


$ cat -n setup.py
     1  # coding=utf-8
     2  from setuptools import setup
     3
     4  setup(name='Hello',
     5        version='1.0',
     6        description='A simple example',
     7        author='Anliven',
     8        author_email='anliven@yeah.net',
     9        url='www.cnblogs.com/anliven',
    10        py_modules=['hello'])

$ cat -n build/lib/hello.py
     1  # coding=utf-8
     2  print("This is a test!")

$

3- 安装模块(执行install命令)

  • 执行insall命令时会根据需要自动运行build命令,不需要手工执行build命令;
  • 安装过程中,Setuptools将创建一个.egg文件(独立的的Python包);
  • 可用pip命令来确认安装结果;
特别注意:建议使用“--record log.txt”参数来记录安装Python包的安装路径,以便以后卸载;
$ pip3 show hello


$ py -3 setup.py install --record log.txt

4- 安装演示

执行install命令时,使用参数“-n”,将只进行演示,并不真正执行安装;
--dry-run (-n) don't actually do anything
py -3 setup.py install -n

5- 卸载模块

Setuptools没有提供标准的uninstall命令,需要手工卸载安装的模块;
  • 执行“python setup.py install --record log.txt”命令,安装包的同时记录Python包的安装文件路径;
  • 卸载时,只需要删除log.txt文件记录的安装文件路径,即可卸载;
  • 如在Linux环境下,可使用“cat log.txt | xargs rm –rf”命令删除,即可卸载;
$ cat log.txt
c:python36libsite-packagesHello-1.0-py3.6.egg

手工删除

$ ls -l /c/Python36/Lib/site-packages/Hello-1.0-py3.6.egg
-rw-r--r-- 1 guowli 1049089 1246 Oct 10 16:49 /c/Python36/Lib/site-packages/Hello-1.0-py3.6.egg

$ pip3 show hello

$ rm -rf /c/Python36/Lib/site-packages/Hello-1.0-py3.6.egg

$ pip3 show hello

6- 程序打包(创建可分发的Python安装包)

编写安装脚本setup.py后,就可以用来进行程序打包(创建归档文件);
支持多种格式,主要分为sdist(Source distribution,源码发布)和bdist(Built Distribution,可执行文件发布)两类;

6.1 Source Distribution(执行sdist命令)

  • 使用命令sdist(Source distribution)可以打包成源码发布;
  • 使用命令开关“--formats”可指定一种或多种压缩格式(用逗号分隔);
如果执行“py -3 setup.py sdist --formats=tar,zip”,那么将生成.tar和.zip两个格式文件。
确认可使用的压缩格式:
$ py -3 setup.py sdist --help-formats
List of available source distribution formats:
  --formats=bztar  bzip2'ed tar-file
  --formats=gztar  gzip'ed tar-file
  --formats=tar    uncompressed tar file
  --formats=xztar  xz'ed tar-file
  --formats=zip    ZIP file
  --formats=ztar   compressed tar file

示例:默认压缩格式.tar.gz

告警提示

可能会出现一些告警提示缺少某些信息,不影响创建归档文件,可以忽略。
如果想去除告警,可以在setup.py所在目录添加相应文件或信息。
warning: sdist: standard file not found: should have one of README, README.rst, README.txt, README.md
warning: check: missing required meta-data: url

分发与安装

生成的dist目录里的Hello-1.0.tar.gz文件就是归档文件,可将此文件分发给他人,然后对方可将其解压缩,再使用脚本setup.py进行安装。

6-2 Built Distribution(执行bdist命令)

和源码包相比,由于是预先构建好的可执行文件,所以安装更快。
确认可使用的压缩格式:
$ py -3 setup.py bdist --help-formats
List of available distribution formats:
  --formats=rpm      RPM distribution
  --formats=gztar    gzip'ed tar file
  --formats=bztar    bzip2'ed tar file
  --formats=xztar    xz'ed tar file
  --formats=ztar     compressed tar file
  --formats=tar      tar file
  --formats=wininst  Windows executable installer
  --formats=zip      ZIP file
  --formats=msi      Microsoft Installer
同时为了简化操作,Setuptools 提供了如下命令(执行“py -3 setup.py --help-commands”获得详细信息);
例如:执行“py -3 setup.py bdist_wininst”
  bdist_dumb        create a "dumb" built distribution
  bdist_rpm         create an RPM distribution
  bdist_wininst     create an executable installer for MS Windows

示例:wininst格式(Windows executable installer)

7- wheel与egg格式

Wheel格式包其实也是一种 built 包,是官方推荐的打包方式,用来替换egg格式包;
  • 创建egg包:“python setup.py bdist_egg”
  • 创建wheel包:“python setup.py bdist_wheel”
执行“py -3 setup.py --help-commands”获得详细信息;
bdist_wheel    create a wheel distribution
bdist_egg      create an "egg" distribution

7-1 示例:生成Wheel格式包

使用 wheel 打包,首先要安装 wheel:“pip install wheel”

8- 向PyPI注册包

PyPI(Python Package Index):https://pypi.org/
  1. 执行命令“python setup.py register”向标准库注册,将显示菜单;
  2. 根据提示,注册包;
  3. 执行命令“python setup.py sdist upload”上传源码分发包到PyPI;
$ py -3 setup.py register
running register
running check
warning: check: missing required meta-data: name, version, url

warning: check: missing meta-data: either (author and author_email) or (maintainer and maintainer_email) must be supplied

We need to know who you are, so please choose either:
 1. use your existing login,
 2. register as a new user,
 3. have the server generate a new password for you (and email it to you), or
 4. quit

9- 拾遗

9.1 PYTHONPATH

PYTHONPATH是Python搜索路径,默认import的模块都会从PYTHONPATH里面寻找;
目前安装新Python版本时,有“Add Python to Path”选项,选中则会自动完成环境变量配置;
以在Windows系统中设置PYTHONPATH为例:

To set environment variable for Python, open environment variables setting, new a system variable named PYTHONPATH, set its value to the Python installation path and append PYTHONPATH to path.

C:Python36;C:Python36Libsite-packages;C:Python36Scripts

打印PYTHONPATH:

>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.path)
['', 'C:\Python36\python36.zip', 'C:\Python36\DLLs', 'C:\Python36\lib', 'C:\Python36', 'C:\Python36\lib\site-packages', 'C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\win32', 'C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\win32\lib', 'C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin']

9-2 对比egg与wheel

一句话总结:wheel文件格式将最终取代egg文件格式,建议使用wheel文件来发布Python包。
Wheel和Egg都是打包的格式,都可用于Python模块的分发与安装;
Egg格式是由Setuptools在2004年引入,通过Setuptools可以识别Egg格式并解析安装;
Wheel格式是由PEP427在2012年定义,本质是zip包格式,最终将替代Egg格式;
Wheel现在被认为是构建和二进制包的标准格式,推荐使用wheel格式发布Python包,目前pip也可直接安装wheel格式包;

Wheel和Egg的主要的不同点:
  - Wheel有一个官方的PEP427来定义,而Egg没有PEP定义;
  - Wheel是一种分发格式,即打包格式。而Egg既是一种分发格式,也是一种运行时安装的格式,并且是可以被import的;
  - Wheel文件不会包含.pyc文件;
  - Wheel使用和PEP376兼容的.dist-info目录,而Egg使用.egg-info目录;
  - Wheel有着更丰富的命名规则;
  - Wheel是有版本的。每个Wheel文件都包含wheel规格的版本和打包它的实现;
  - Wheel在内部被sysconfig path type管理,因此转向其他格式也更容易;
