Buildout is a build tool for Python projects. It's a self-contained environment which manages depencies for a project, install/configure software components and create repeatable DTAP enviroments.

1. – write once, deploy often – Creating repeatable environments with Buildout

3. Server administrator

4. Google Android developer

6. What is buildout and what can I do with it?

7. Buildout basics and examples

9. There is a need for creating repeatable DTAP deployments

11. Assembling applications from multiple parts, Python or otherwise

12. An application may actually contain multiple programs, processes, and configuration settings

14. It's repeatable and reusable

15. * Development, Testing, Acceptance, Production

16. Simple buildout config [buildout] develop = src/hello parts = hello-buildout [hello-buildout] recipe = zc.recipe.egg interpreter = py eggs = hello

17. Multiple configuration files [buildout] extends = buildout-base.cfg supervisor.cfg pound.cfg prd-settings.cfg prd-version.cfg parts += instance0 ...

18. Variable substitutions [cluster] int-ip = 192.168.10.1 supervisor-port = 38080 [supervisor] recipe = collective.recipe.supervisor port = ${cluster:int-ip}:${cluster:supervisor-port} serverurl = http://${cluster:int-ip}:${cluster:supervisor-port} programs = 20 instance ${instance:location}/bin/runzope ${instance:location} true 80 pound ${buildout:directory}/bin/poundrun

19. Buildout recipes zc.recipe.egg plone.recipe.command zc.recipe.cmmi collective.recipe.patch collective.recipe.supervisor gocept.nginx mr.developer

20. Example buildout config [buildout] parts = pyramid eggs = ZopeSkel extensions = mr.developer sources = sources auto-checkout = opsbqueue gw20e.forms [sources] opsbqueue = svn https://svn.gw20e.com/oosterpoort/eggs/opsbqueue gw20e.forms = svn https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/gw20e.forms/trunk [pyramid] recipe = zc.recipe.egg interpreter = py eggs = pyramid opsbqueue gw20e.forms

21. GW20e default buildout

22. Running buildout ~/buildout$ python bootstrap.py ~/buildout$ ./bin/buildout

24. Powerful buildout recipes

25. Include non-Python components

26. Write once, deploy often!
