A cross-platform environment bootstrapping framework!

Sprinter is a framework designed to making bootstrapping development environments easier. There are three main components to a usable sprinter environment:

• This python egg, to fully utilize the framework
• a sprinter.cfg file, which contains the configuration necessary to install features
• sprinter formulas, which each feature uses as it's instruction manual on how to setup, update, and remove itself

Read more about Sprinter on the docs

Install an environment:

sprinter install ENVIRONMENT.cfg
sprinter install http://myenvironment.cfg

Install the environment specified in the environment.cfg file. It will update an environment if it already exists.:

sprinter update MY_ENVIRONMENT

Activate MY_ENVIRONMENT:

sprinter activate MY_ENVIRONMENT

deactivate MY_ENVIRONMENT:

sprinter deactivate MY_ENVIRONMENT

remove MY_ENVIRONMENT:

sprinter remove MY_ENVIRONMENT

Brewed python (installed via brew install python), by default sets a prefix value in ~/.pydistutils.cfg. If this value is set, due to a bug in Python's setup tools, the Sprinter install will fail. To get around this issue do the following.

Remove all traces of brewed python:

brew uninstall python
brew uninstall pyenv-virtualenv

Manually move all virtualenv* files under /usr/local/bin to another folder:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/venv-old
sudo mv /usr/local/bin/virtualenv* /usr/local/bin/venv-old/

Open a new terminal tab and double-check that you're in a clean state:

which python # => /usr/bin/python
which virtualenv # => virtualenv not found

Install Python and virtualenv(wrapper):

brew install python --with-brewed-openssl
# Open a new terminal tab now (to access /usr/local/bin/python)
pip install virtualenv
pip install virtualenvwrapper
