pyp2rpm

A tool to convert a PyPI package to an RPM SPECFILE or to generate an SRPM. Under heavy development, see the TODO file for a list of planned features. pyp2rpm currently ships with Fedora and Mageia specific templates.

Usage

The simplest use case is to run:

pyp2rpm package_name

This downloads the package from PyPI and outputs the RPM SPECFILE.

Or:

pyp2rpm package_name --srpm

This downloads the package from PyPI and creates a SRPM file.

All of the pyp2rpm options are:

$ pyp2rpm -h

usage: pyp2rpm [-h] [-v VERSION] [-d SAVE_DIR] [-r RPM_NAME]
               [-t TEMPLATE] [-o DISTRO] [-b BASE_PYTHON]
               [-p PYTHON_VERSION] [--srpm] [--proxy PROXY] PACKAGE

Convert PyPI package to RPM specfile or SRPM.

Arguments:
  PACKAGE             Provide PyPI name of the package or path to compressed
                      source file.

Options:
  -t TEMPLATE                     Template file (jinja2 format) to render
                                  (default: "fedora").Search order is 1)
                                  filesystem, 2) default templates.
  -o [fedora|epel7|epel6|mageia|pld]
                                  Default distro whose conversion rules to use
                                  (default:"fedora"). Default templates have
                                  their rules associated and ignore this.
  -b BASE_PYTHON                  Base Python version to package for (fedora
                                  default: "3").
  -p PYTHON_VERSIONS              Additional Python versions to include in the
                                  specfile (e.g -p2 for python2 subpackage).
                                  Can be specified multiple times. Specify
                                  additional version or use -b explicitly to
                                  disable default.
  -s                              Spec file ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/python-package_name.spec
                                  will be created (default:
                                  prints spec file to stdout).
  --srpm                          When used pyp2rpm will produce srpm instead
                                  of printing specfile into stdout.
  --proxy PROXY                   Specify proxy in the form proxy.server:port.
  -r RPM_NAME                     Name of rpm package (overrides calculated
                                  name).
  -d SAVE_PATH                    Specify where to save package file, specfile
                                  and generated SRPM (default:
                                  "/home/mcyprian/rpmbuild").
  -v VERSION                      Version of the package to download (ignored
                                  for local files).
  --venv / --no-venv              Enable / disable metadata extraction from
                                  virtualenv (default: enabled).
  --autonc / --no-autonc          Enable / disable using automatic provides
                                  with a standardized name in dependencies
                                  declaration (default: disabled).
  --sclize                        Convert tags and macro definitions to SCL-style
                                  using `spec2scl` module. NOTE: SCL
                                  related options can be provided alongside
                                  this option.
  -h, --help                      Show this message and exit.

SCL related options:
  --no-meta-runtime-dep       Don't add the runtime dependency on the scl
                              runtime package.
  --no-meta-buildtime-dep     Don't add the buildtime dependency on the scl
                              runtime package.
  --skip-functions FUNCTIONS  Comma separated list of transformer functions to
                              skip.
  --no-deps-convert           Don't convert dependency tags (mutually
                              exclusive with --list-file).
  --list-file FILE_NAME       List of the packages/provides, that will be in
                              the SCL (to convert Requires/BuildRequires
                              properly). Lines in the file are in form of
                              "pkg-name %%{?custom_prefix}", where the prefix
                              part is optional.
