Proposal: pinax command line about pinax

[paltman]

Consider http://click.pocoo.org/5/ for building the command line client

You can install via pip from within Python by using it's API:

from pip.commands import install
command = install.InstallCommand()
opts, args = command.parser.parse_args()
command.run(opts, ["requests"])

[jtauber]

could we also just do it with an install_requires in setup.py?

[paltman]

You can start the project from Python too. No need to shell out:

from pip.commands import install
command = install.InstallCommand()
opts, args = command.parser.parse_args()
command.run(opts, ["Django"])

from django.core.management import call_command
call_command("startproject", NAME, "-n webpack.config.js", template="https://github.com/pinax/pinax-starter-projects/zipball/account")

@jtauber I like the idea of each starter project specifying it's Django version and this command just installing what the registry tells it to.

[jtauber]

ah, nice idea

[jtauber]

will the registry be a JSON/YAML file under this repo?

[paltman]

I was at first thinking in pinax-starter-projects, but I think it like it living in pinax/pinax better

[paltman]

But maybe it's something that should be versioned and deployed somewhere. Not sure.

[paltman]

For now, as long as we can read a .json|yml file from a url, that's all i care about

[jtauber]

Well, it being a JSON/YAML file in a GitHub repo, it is kinda versioned and deployed :-)

[paltman]

👍

You can now:

pip install pinax-cli
