Space Tracer Development

space_tracer is the command-line version that you can install with pip. It doesn't require any special development tools, beyond Python and the git download instructions if you don't already have it.

Deploying a new release of Space Tracer

The details are at packaging.python.org, but the main steps are:

  1. Update the version number in about.py and development status in setup.py.

  2. Activate the latest Python's virtual environment.

     source .tox/py39/bin/activate

  3. Install the build tools.

     python -m pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel twine

  4. Build the release files.

     python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

  5. Upload the release to PyPI. You'll need a user name and password.

     ls dist/*
 twine upload dist/*

  6. Check that the new version is on the package page, and try installing it.

     pip install --no-cache space_tracer

  7. Remove the uploaded files and recreate the tox environment. (The browser version uses these files, so don't remove them until you've deployed that.)

     rm dist/*
 deactivate
 tox -r -epy39

  8. Commit the version number changes, push, and create a release on GitHub. (Finish the other releases before marking the release on GitHub, if you're releasing more.)
