Generate FreeBSD Ports from Python modules on PyPI

pytoport

A fairly normal way to generate FreeBSD port Makefiles straight from PyPI.

Installation

FreeBSD

You can install pytoport using pkg(8), or the Ports framework:

$ pkg install -g pyXY-pytoport # Where XY is Python version eg. 34
or
$ make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/py-pytoport install clean

From source (for development)

It is recommended to create a virtualenv to install your dependencies in order to not pollute your system installation:

$ virtualenv --python=python3.X /path/to/venv
$ source /path/to/venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

You can then install from the setup.py directly, use pip, or run locally with:

$ python -m pytoport

Usage

You specify a base directory for the packages to be generated into, then just let it rip!

$ pytoport ~/my-ports/devel nosetests fixtures

In your ~/my-ports/devel directory, you will find py-nosetests and py-fixtures with a Makefile and if you're lucky, a distinfo and pkg-descr too.

You should also create a ~/.porttools file with the following details:

EMAIL="[email protected]"
FULLNAME="Your Name"

See man 5 porttools for more information. If you don't create this file, you'll have to fill out the relevant parts of the Makefile yourself.
