Hacking on pip2nix¶
Development environment¶
Just running nix-shell
when in the repository should drop you into a shell
with python2.7 and pip2nix wrapper in $PATH. To use a different python, pass
--argstr pythonPackages python35Packages
to nix-shell.
Running tests¶
To run tests while in the development environment run py.test
. It will
search for all tests under current directory.
To test all supported platforms, run nix-build ./release.nix
- this is
actually what CI does.
Changing the dependencies¶
When changing setup.py you should also run pip2nix to regenerate
python-packages.nix. I you don’t have a working copy around, run
./bootstrap.sh
from top level directory. The script will install pip2nix
with pip into a virtualenv, and use that to generate python-packages.nix.
Releasing¶
nix-shell ./release-shell.nix
bumpversion dev
rm -rf pip2nix.egg-info/ dist/
nix-shell --pure --run 'python ./setup.py sdist'
twine upload dist/*
bumpversion --no-tag minor
