Package: py-migrate
pyMigrateA tool for automatically migrating any python source code to a virtual environment with all
dependencies automatically identified and installed. You can also use this tool to generate requirements.txt for your python code base, in general, this tool will help you to bring your old/hobby
python codebase to production/distribution.Note: As of now, the dependencies are identified based on module names, not the package name. Therefore, the dependencies will be properly listed in
requirements.txt only if package name == module name otherwise the module name will be listed directly and pip might fail to download such dependencies, this is because the python runtime operates at modules level, while pip works at package level, as of now, it is nearly impossible to reliably obtain the package name given the module name which came installed with it (this is because of the nature of python's package management). I am still looking for a better/possible approach to mitigate this issue. As of now, you many have to manually change the generated requirements.txt for some packages that are not properly identified.Features:A simple CLI tool.Creates and installs a virtual environment automatically.Identifies the dependencies (external) automatically and populates therequirements.txtInstalls dependencies in the virtual environment.Multiple configuration parameters.Requirements:pipPython 3.x.xvenvNote:: You many need to installpython3-venvviaapton debian systems.How to install:The package is available on pip. Run:pip3 install py-migrateOr you can clone the repository and install manually:git clone https://github.com/Narasimha1997/pyMigrate.git
cd pyMigrate && python3 setup.py installHow to run this tool:Once installed, the tool will be available through commandpymigrate. Say you have a codebase at/path/to/sourceand you want to generate the virtualenv with all the dependencies and source code installed at/path/to/target, then:pymigrate /path/to/source /path/to/targetcommand will generate the virtualenv for you. The target must be an absloute path.Generating requirements.txt alone, without setting up virtualenv:You can set--requirementsto generaterequirements.txtalone, this will not set-up the virtualenv. Say you have to generaterequirements.txtat/path/to/output, then:pymigrate /path/to/source /path/to/target --requirementsConfiguration options:You can change the default behaviour of the generated virtual environment by setting some of the coniguration options provided. You can run the following command to learn more about these parameters:pymigrate --helpWhich outputs:usage: pymigrate [-h] [--requirements] [--syspkgs] [--symlink] source target

A tool for automatically migrating any python source code to a virtual
environment with all dependencies automatically identified and installed. You
can also use this tool to generate requirements.txt for your python code base,
in general, this tool will help you to bring your old/hobby python codebase to
production/distribution.

positional arguments:
  source          Path to source directory where you have the codebase to
                  transform
  target          Path to the destination where you need to generate a
                  virtual-environment or requirements.txt

optional arguments:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  --requirements  This flag tells the tool to generate requirements.txt
  --syspkgs       Set this flag, if you want to use system site-packages In
                  other words, you will re-use the packages available on the
                  system instead of downloading them locally in the
                  virtualenv.
  --symlink       Symlinks the python interpreter available on the system
                  rather than installing a new one.Contributing:Feel free to contribute by raising issues, making PRs or suggesting features.
