WHY

we need this?

So...

• How many "Utils" libs have you local files pending of be reviewed?
   
• Did you share it with any of your team? 
   
• Are the rest of your team reusing your code?

Let us show you

how we did it

What was our case

@industrial_IoT

We were

(at the beginning of the platform approx)

• 5 Teams
• 8 Components
• 5 Component QAs
• 2 Platform QA

We needed to

• Reuse the code of the QA-components
   
• Have an easy way to share our Utils libs
   
• Centralised QA Utils repository 

How we did it

(may be it is not the best way but it worked for us)

Ingredients:

(Just 3 steps)

• Create a new repository
   
• Create a setup.py
   
• Use and share your utils :)
   

Create a new repository

Now that it is created

Add a setup.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='commonUtils',
    version='0.0.1',
    description='common Utilities',
    url='https://github.com/XavierVal/commonUtils',
    install_requires=[
        'requests==1.2.3',
        'nose==1.3.4'
    ],
    py_modules=[
        'commonUtils.time_utils',
    ],
    packages=[
        'commonUtils',
        'commonUtils.templates',
    ],
)

Submit your utils
(This one is no so useful... but it is just an example)

from datetime import datetime


class TimeUtils(object):

    def time_now(self):
        current_time = datetime.now().time()
        print "Current Time is: {}".format(current_time)
        return current_time

Install your new lib

$   pip install git+https://github.com/XavierVal/commonUtils@master

Downloading/unpacking git+https://github.com/XavierVal/commonUtils@master
  Cloning https://github.com/XavierVal/commonUtils (to master) to c:\users\x\appdata\local\temp\pip-8iwi5h-build
  Running setup.py (path:c:\users\x\appdata\local\temp\pip-8iwi5h-build\setup.py) egg_info for package from git+https://github.com/XavierVal/commonUtils@master
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): requests==1.2.3 in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from commonUtils==0.0.1)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): nose==1.3.4 in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from commonUtils==0.0.1)
Installing collected packages: commonUtils
  Running setup.py install for commonUtils
Successfully installed commonUtils
Cleaning up...



$ pip list | grep common
commonUtils (0.0.1)

Now you can use and share and your library with just a pip install 

$ python

>>> from commonUtils import time_utils

>>> time_obj = time_utils.TimeUtils()

>>> time_obj.time_now()
Current Time is: 09:44:14.066000
