A Python build automation library

Install with Pip

pip install pyhammer

This library is meant to be a dead simple way to automate your builds. It's inspired in Grunt for Javascript. There's a static class called Builder with two simple methods addTask and runBuild.

The method addTask requires in it's first parameter the name of task. The second parameter may contain an object inherited from TaskBase or a string with the previously added task names separated with spaces.

At the end of file it's necessary put Builder.runBuild(). It starts the build process search for the first parameter used to call the python file.

Here is a simple example:

from pyhammer.builder import Builder
from pyhammer.tasks.io.copytask import CopyTask
from pyhammer.tasks.io.deletetask import DeleteTask

#Adding the tasks
Builder.addTask('copy', CopyTask('/temp', '/pub'))
Builder.addTask('delete', DeleteTask('/temp'))

#This is a MultiTask that runs 2 previously declared
Builder.addTask('all', 'copy delete')

#This code is required
Builder.runBuild()

To execute the file showed above you must call the command below where build.py is the name of file and all is the task you want to run.

python build.py all
