lizard-waterbalance is a Django application to store configurations of waterbalance models and to compute and visualize the waterbalance of a specific configuration. The master branch at GitHub implements all these functionalities within a single Python package, viz. lizard_waterbalance. We have created this branch to separate the functionality to compute a waterbalance from the functionality to store and view one.
lizard-waterbalance consists of the following Python packages:
- lizard_waterbalance
defines and manages the database objects that specify implement multiple waterbalance configurations and visualizes a waterbalance
- lizard_wbcomputation
computes a waterbalance for a given waterbalance configuration
- dbmodels
provides a waterbalance configuration that wraps the objects of a Django database
- xmlmodels
provides a waterbalance configuration that wraps the information stored in XML files
For now, these packages are all part of the same Django application. In the end, we will split off lizard_wbcomputation and xmlmodels into their own Git repositories. To do so, we refer to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/359424
The first time, you'll have to run the "bootstrap script" to set up setuptools and buildout:
$> python bootstrap.pyAnd then run buildout to set everything up:
$> bin/buildoutOn windows it is called bin\buildout.exe. Note that on Windows, we had to remove the sphinx part from buildout.cfg as buildout aborted when it wanted to create the Sphinx environment.
You'll have to re-run buildout when you or someone else made a change in setup.py or buildout.cfg.
The current package is installed as a "development package", so changes in .py files are automatically available (just like with python setup.py develop).
If you want to use trunk checkouts of other packages (instead of released versions), add them as an "svn external" in the local_checkouts/ directory and add them to the develop = list in buildout.cfg.
Tests can always be run with bin/test or bin\test.exe.
