setuptools-py2cfg

Since version 30.3.0, setuptools supports declarative configuration through the setup.cfg file. This script helps convert existing setup.py files to setup.cfg in the format expected by setuptools.

Usage

Just point setuptools-py2cfg to a setup.py file or run it in a directory containing a setup.py. For example, given the following setup.py:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

classifiers = [
    'Development Status :: 5 - Production/Stable',
    'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7',
    'Programming Language :: Python :: 3',
    'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.3',
    'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.4',
    'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.5',
    'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.6',
    'Intended Audience :: Developers',
    'Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries',
    'License :: OSI Approved :: BSD License',
]

extras_require = {
    'tests': [
        'tox >= 2.6.0',
        'pytest >= 3.0.3',
    ],
    'devel': [
        'check-manifest >= 0.35',
        'readme-renderer >= 16.0',
    ]
}

kw = {
    'name':                 'ansimarkup',
    'version':              '1.3.0',

    'description':          'Produce colored terminal text with an xml-like markup',
    'long_description':     open('README.rst').read(),

    'author':               'Georgi Valkov',
    'author_email':         'georgi.t.valkov@gmail.com',
    'license':              'Revised BSD License',
    'keywords':             'ansi terminal markup',
    'url':                  'https://github.com/gvalkov/python-ansimarkup',
    'classifiers':          classifiers,
    'install_requires':     'colorama',
    'extras_require':       extras_require,
    'packages':             find_packages(),
    'zip_safe':             True,
}

if __name__ == '__main__':
    setup(**kw)

Running setuptools-py2cfg.py would print:

[metadata]
name = ansimarkup
version = 1.3.0
author = Georgi Valkov
author_email = georgi.t.valkov@gmail.com
license = Revised BSD License
description = Produce colored terminal text with an xml-like markup
keywords = ansi, terminal, markup
url = https://github.com/gvalkov/python-ansimarkup
long_description = file: README.rst
classifiers =
    Development Status :: 5 - Production/Stable
    Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7
    Programming Language :: Python :: 3
    Programming Language :: Python :: 3.3
    Programming Language :: Python :: 3.4
    Programming Language :: Python :: 3.5
    Programming Language :: Python :: 3.6
    Intended Audience :: Developers
    Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries
    License :: OSI Approved :: BSD License

[options]
packages = find:
zip_safe = True
install_requires = colorama

[options.extras_require]
tests =
    tox >= 2.6.0
    pytest >= 3.0.3
devel =
    check-manifest >= 0.35
    readme-renderer >= 16.0

There are several non-essential options that control the format of the generated ini-file:

usage: setuptools-py2cfg.py [-h] [-t int] [-i int] [-a] [path]

converts an existing setup.py file to a setup.cfg in the format expected by
setuptools

positional arguments:
  path                  path to setup.py file (default: ./setup.py)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t int, --dangling-list-threshold int
                        lists longer than this many characters are converted
                        to a dangling list (default: 40)
  -i int, --dangling-list-indent int
                        number of spaces to use when indenting dangling lists
                        (default: 4)
  -a, --always-use-dangling-lists
                        use dangling lists everywhere (default: False)

Keep in mind that a setup.py file with a single call to setuptools.setup() is still needed after migrating all metadata to setup.cfg.

Installation

The latest stable version of setuptools-py2cfg can be installed from pypi:

$ pip install setuptools-py2cfg

Todo

• Handle entry_scripts in ini-format.
• Write a test or two.
