class upe.build.buildcmd

Class where all the commands from the build scripts are defined. Shouldn’t be used outside a build script. If you try to run an undefined command, it will raise a CmdError.

exception upe.build.CmdError

Exception raised when buildcmd gets an undefined command. It should print something like:

Tried to execute an illegal command: <command you tried to run>

upe.build.make(builds[, manifest='manifest.json'][, builddir='build'][, srcdir='src'])

Create a package from a manifest (in JSON format) and a builds (build script). It should be named following the build script guidelines. It also needs a builddir where building the skeleton of the package, and a srcdir where the original source is located.

Important

Both builddir and srcdir must be under the current directory (you can’t indicate a path).
