Make the Project Installable
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Making your project installable means that you can build a *wheel* file and install that
|
|
in another environment, just like you installed Flask in your project's environment.
|
|
This makes deploying your project the same as installing any other library, so you're
|
|
using all the standard Python tools to manage everything.
|
|
|
|
Installing also comes with other benefits that might not be obvious from
|
|
the tutorial or as a new Python user, including:
|
|
|
|
* Currently, Python and Flask understand how to use the ``flaskr``
|
|
package only because you're running from your project's directory.
|
|
Installing means you can import it no matter where you run from.
|
|
|
|
* You can manage your project's dependencies just like other packages
|
|
do, so ``pip install yourproject.whl`` installs them.
|
|
|
|
* Test tools can isolate your test environment from your development
|
|
environment.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This is being introduced late in the tutorial, but in your future
|
|
projects you should always start with this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describe the Project
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The ``pyproject.toml`` file describes your project and how to build it.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: toml
|
|
:caption: ``pyproject.toml``
|
|
|
|
[project]
|
|
name = "flaskr"
|
|
version = "1.0.0"
|
|
dependencies = [
|
|
"flask",
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
[build-system]
|
|
requires = ["flit_core<4"]
|
|
build-backend = "flit_core.buildapi"
|
|
|
|
See the official `Packaging tutorial <packaging tutorial_>`_ for more
|
|
explanation of the files and options used.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Install the Project
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Use ``pip`` to install your project in the virtual environment.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
$ pip install -e .
|
|
|
|
This tells pip to find ``pyproject.toml`` in the current directory and install the
|
|
project in *editable* or *development* mode. Editable mode means that as you make
|
|
changes to your local code, you'll only need to re-install if you change the metadata
|
|
about the project, such as its dependencies.
|
|
|
|
You can observe that the project is now installed with ``pip list``.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
$ pip list
|
|
|
|
Package Version Location
|
|
-------------- --------- ----------------------------------
|
|
click 6.7
|
|
Flask 1.0
|
|
flaskr 1.0.0 /home/user/Projects/flask-tutorial

|
Werkzeug 0.14.1
|
|
|
|
Nothing changes from how you've been running your project so far.
|
|
``--app`` is still set to ``flaskr`` and ``flask run`` still runs
|
|
the application, but you can call it from anywhere, not just the
|
|
``flask-tutorial`` directory.
