<h1>Introduction</h1>
<p>This document explains how to use the generateDS.py library
template to create a package enabling you to distribute a module
generated with generateDS.py. This package and the instructions
below will help you to create the following:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>A directory structure in which to hang things.</li>
<li>A directory for sample scripts (sample_code/)</li>
<li>A directory for sample XML instance documents</li>
<li>A directory for schemas</li>
<li>A (mostly empty file in which to place utility functions to help
with the use of your generated module</li>
<li>A script (quick_start.py) that does a bit of name replacement</li>
<li>A directory for documentation containing some boiler plate
material and also a set-up for generating document in various
formats (for example HTML, LaTeX, PDF) with Sphinx</li>
</ul>
<p>The latest copy of these instructions is here:</p>
<blockquote>
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/librarytemplate_howto.html">http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/librarytemplate_howto.html</a></blockquote>
<p>and the template package itself is here:</p>
<blockquote>
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/librarytemplate0-1.0a.zip">http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/librarytemplate0-1.0a.zip</a></blockquote>
<p>These instructions assume the name "peach" as the name of the
schema. You should replace "peach" in these instructions with the
name of your schema.</p>
<p>Find out more about generateDS.py here:
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/generateDS.html">http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/generateDS.html</a></p>
<p>You will need to install Sphinx in order to build the documentation
in your package. Learn about Sphinx here: <a class="reference external" href="http://sphinx.pocoo.org/">http://sphinx.pocoo.org/</a>.</p>

<div class="section" id="details">
<h1>Details</h1>
<p>In the instructions that follow, I'll assume that the name of your
XML schema is "peach" and that the name of the module that you
generate using <tt class="docutils literal">generateDS.py</tt> will be "peachlib".</p>
<p>Follow these steps:</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first">Unroll the library template (librarytemplate-x.y.zip), for
example:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$ unzip librarytemplate-1.0a.zip
</pre>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Rename the top-level directory created by the previous step, for
example:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>$ mv librarytemplate-x.y peachlib-1.0a</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Or, on MS Windows:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>$ rename librarytemplate-x.y peachlib-1.0a</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Go to the new directory. For example:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$ cd peachlib-1.0a
</pre>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Copy your generated modules into this directory. Suggested name
is <tt class="docutils literal">{schema_name}lib.py</tt>. For example <tt class="docutils literal">peachlib.py</tt>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Run <tt class="docutils literal">quick_start.py</tt> (which is in the top level directory).
<tt class="docutils literal">quick_start.py</tt> makes changes in the boiler plate provided by
librarytemplate; it changes occurrences of "{{schema_name}}" to
the name of your schema, which is entered on the command line.
For example:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$ python quick_start.py --help
$ python quick_start.py --schema-name=peach
</pre>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Add some more content to the documentation. It is likely that
you will want to make additions and changes in the following
files:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>README.txt</li>
<li>docs/intro.txt</li>
<li>sample_code/README.txt</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Generate the documentation. This step requires Sphinx.</p>
<p>First, add the top-level directory of your distribution to your
PYTHONPATH environment variable. Sphinx needs to be able to
import your library module (peachlib.py). Then, go to
the ./docs/ directory and build the HTML documentation:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$ cd docs
$ make clean
$ make html
</pre>
<p>You also can build other forms of documentation, e.g. LaTeX and
PDF. See the Sphinx documentation, or type:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$ make help
</pre>
<p>By default, the generated documentation for the module includes
lists of the member functions for each class. You can change
this by removing the <tt class="docutils literal">:members:</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">:undoc-members:</span></tt>
options from the file <tt class="docutils literal">docs/module_contents.txt</tt>, and then
run:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$ make clean
$ make html
</pre>
<p>again.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Add some functionality and sample code. In particular:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Add some helper functions in peachlibutils.py.</li>
<li>Add example applications in directory sample_code/.
Suggestions: (1) Rename and add code to
sample_code/example01.txt. (2) Generate a subclass module
(using the "-s" command line option with <tt class="docutils literal">generateDS.py</tt>,
then add a bit of code to a few of the subclasses.</li>
<li>List and describe any example applications that you add in the
file sample_code/README.txt.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p class="first">It might be a good idea to include the XML schema from which you
generated your library module. You can copy the schema(s) to
the schemas/ directory, and/or add a link in file
schemas/README.txt that points to a location where it can be
found.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Create a distribution file. For example, use either:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$ tar czf peachlib-1.0a.tar.gz peachlib-1.0a
</pre>
<p>or:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$ zip -r peachlib-1.0a.zip peachlib-1.0a
</pre>
<p>In order to avoid including backup files and compiled Python
modules, you might want to use something like the following:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$ zip -r peachlib-1.0a.zip peachlib-1.0a -x \*~ -x \*.pyc
</pre>
<p>See the man page on zip for more on the -x command line option.
The backslash avoids the shell filename substitution. Adjust
this command for your needs. For example, you may need to use
"*.bak" instead of "*~".</p>
