sholl

Invoked like sholl foo for some package foo which is presently installed in sys.path, determines which packages foo and its dependents depend on, downloads them from pypi and computes their checksums, and spits out Homebrew resource stanzas.

sholl foo will give you a complete Homebrew formula.

sholl foo -p https://homepageurl.com will give you a complete Homebrew formula with "https://homepageurl.com" as homepage.

sholl foo -d "Some description" will give you a complete Homebrew formula with "Some description" as description.

sholl foo -t false will give you a complete Homebrew formula with "false" as test.

sholl foo -u ./sholl.rb will give you an updated version of the sholl.rb formula.

sholl foo -o ./sholl.rb will give you a complete Homebrew formula and save it in ./sholl.rb.

sholl will use the versions of the packages that you presently have installed. If a package it wants to reference is not installed, the latest version on pypi will be downloaded and checksummed and its dependencies will not be considered.

The easiest way to use sholl is to create a virtualenv, use pip or setuptools to install the target package and its dependencies in the virtualenv, and then pip install sholl and run sholl inside the virtualenv.

Usage is like:

::
