morepath.autosetup – Configuration Automation

This module defines functionality to automatically configure Morepath.

morepath.scan(), morepath.autoscan() are part of the public API.

morepath.autosetup.import_package(distribution)

Takes a importlib.Distribution and loads the module contained in it, if it matches the rules layed out in morepath.autoscan().

morepath.autosetup.import_package(distribution)

Takes a importlib.Distribution and loads the module contained in it, if it matches the rules layed out in morepath.autoscan().

class morepath.autosetup.DependencyMap

A registry that tracks dependencies between distributions.

Used by morepath_packages() to find installed Python distributions that depend on Morepath, directly or indirectly.

depends(project_name, on_project_name, visited=None)

Check whether project transitively depends on another.

A project depends on another project if it directly or indirectly requires the other project.

Parameters:

  • project_name – Python distribution name.

  • on_project_name – Python distribution name it depends on.

Returns:

True if project_name depends on on_project_name.

load()

Fill the registry with dependency information.

relevant_dists(on_project_name)

Iterable of distributions that depend on project.

Dependency is transitive.

Parameters:

on_project_name – Python distribution name

Returns:

iterable of Python distribution objects that depend on project

morepath.autosetup.get_module_name(distribution)

Determines the module name to import from the given distribution.

If an entry point named scan is found in the group morepath, it’s value is used. If not, the project name is used.

See morepath.autoscan() for details and an example.

morepath.autosetup.caller_module(level=2)

Give module where calling function is defined.

Level:

levels deep to look up the stack frame

Returns:

a Python module

morepath.autosetup.caller_package(level=2)

Give package where calling function is defined.

Level:

levels deep to look up the stack frame

Returns:

a Python module (representing the __init__.py of a package)
