Adding new modules to the Pypi-repo

If you have pip2pi installed, you can simply do the following to add any modules from pypi or tarballs:

  1. pip2pi $PATH_TO_PYPI_REPO <pypi_module_name==version>;

    • $PATH_TO_PYPI_REPO/<new_module_name>.whl will be added after this;

  2. For tarballs, you can simply copy them over to the pypi-repo directory;

    • Remember to rename the tarball to module-name_X.X.X.tar.gz before the next step;

  3. Run dir2pi $PATH_TO_PYPI_REPO to generate new index files:

    • $PATH_TO_PYPI_REPO/simple/index.html will have a new entry for the newly-added module;
    • A new subdirectory will be created as $PATH_TO_PYPI_REPO/simple/<new module name> which contains:
      • An index.html
      • symbolic links to the wheel or tarball files under $PATH_TO_PYPI_REPO for each version of this module.

Installing pip2pi

If you do not have pip2pi available, you can do the following to install it. Note that the latest official version (more than 2 years old) of pip2pi does not work well with python3. We have a patched version available here.

  1. setup python3, skip this step if you already have access to it:

    • source /cvmfs/dune.opensciencegrid.org/dunedaq/DUNE/products/setup; setup python v3_8_3b;

  2. create and activate a virtual environment:

    • python -m venv pypi-repo-venv
    • source pypi-repo-venv/bin/activate

  3. install pip2py:

    • pip install https://github.com/dingp/pip2pi/archive/1.0.0.tar.gz

Now you should have access to pip2pi and dir2pi commands. Next time, you can simply activate the virtual env for accessing these tools.
