Building python packages for glued

[Kristoffer Gryte]

Hi,

We would like to include the python package pyserial to glued, so I've looked into how this can be done. Has anyone done any similar work on this, from which I can get inspiration? I suspect that there is a very elegant way that I'm not seeing at the moment....

What I've understood this far is that I need to make a folder "pyserial" in rules, containing download information and build rules, something along the lines of this: http://whatschrisdoing.com/blog/2009/10/16/cross-compiling-python-extensions/. 

I will continue to look further into this myself, but I appreciate any hints :)

Regards,

Kristoffer

I ended up with the following:

requires=\

(

    'python'

)

version=\

(

    "3.4"

)

git=\

(

    'https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial.git'

)

git_hash=\

(

    92d101613be41ecb2f2054c3f43a006fbe6f9966

)

maintainer=\

(

    ' '

)

post_unpack()

{    

    echo "Checking out correct version"

    cd "${cfg_dir_builds}/$pkg/$pkg.git-git"

    git reset --hard #"${git_hash}"

}

build()

{

    cd "${cfg_dir_builds}/$pkg/$pkg.git-git"

    python setup.py bdist_egg

}

target_install()

{

    echo "unzipping"

    unzip -o "${cfg_dir_builds}/$pkg/$pkg.git-git"/dist/pyserial-${version}-py2.7.egg -d "${cfg_dir_rootfs}/lib/python2.7/site-packages/"

}

Which works.
