For every simple python script you need same simple parts:
I’ve prepared a simple python project with all these parts to use as template. It is available on github.
Command line arguments parsing is done in parse_arguments. The most interesting thing there is setting default fuctions for submodules (and None for main module). It looks like:
first_module_parser.set_defaults(func=first_module)
and allows to address needed by chosen submodule function as simple as
if args.func:
args.func(args)
Logging initialization is simple and has only two modes: verbose (with DEBUG level enabled) and non-verbose (only INFO messages):
logging.basicConfig(
level=logging.DEBUG if args.verbose else logging.INFO,
format="[%(filename)s:%(lineno)d] %(levelname)-8s [%(asctime)s] %(message)s",
datefmt="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
)
These is also a Makefile in the project with simple compilation from python code to binary (python->cython->gcc->binary):
cp python_template.py python_template.pyx
cython *.pyx --embed
gcc -Os -I /usr/include/python3.5m -o python_template python_template.c -lpython3.5m -lpthread -lm -lutil -ldl
rm python_template.pyx python_template.c
pytest test is located in the separate file test_python_template.py and may be invoced as:
make test
Sample output:
$ make test
py.test test_python_template.py
