-----------------------------------------
Configuring setup() using setup.cfg files
-----------------------------------------
.. note:: New in 30.3.0 (8 Dec 2016).
.. important::
If compatibility with legacy builds (i.e. those not using the :pep:`517`
build API) is desired, a ``setup.py`` file containing a ``setup()`` function
call is still required even if your configuration resides in ``setup.cfg``.
``Setuptools`` allows using configuration files (usually :file:`setup.cfg`)
to define a package’s metadata and other options that are normally supplied
to the ``setup()`` function (declarative config).
This approach not only allows automation scenarios but also reduces
boilerplate code in some cases.
.. note::
This implementation has limited compatibility with the distutils2-like
``setup.cfg`` sections used by the ``pbr`` and ``d2to1`` packages.
Namely: only metadata-related keys from ``metadata`` section are supported
(except for ``description-file``); keys from ``files``, ``entry_points``
and ``backwards_compat`` are not supported.
.. code-block:: ini
[metadata]
name = my_package
version = attr: src.VERSION
description = My package description
long_description = file: README.rst, CHANGELOG.rst, LICENSE.rst
keywords = one, two
license = BSD 3-Clause License
classifiers =
Framework :: Django
License :: OSI Approved :: BSD License
Programming Language :: Python :: 3
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.5
[options]
zip_safe = False
include_package_data = True
packages = find:
scripts =
bin/first.py
bin/second.py
install_requires =
requests
importlib; python_version == "2.6"
[options.package_data]
* = *.txt, *.rst
hello = *.msg
[options.extras_require]
pdf = ReportLab>=1.2; RXP
rest = docutils>=0.3; pack ==1.1, ==1.3
[options.packages.find]
exclude =
src.subpackage1
src.subpackage2
[options.data_files]
/etc/my_package =
site.d/00_default.conf
host.d/00_default.conf
data = data/img/logo.png, data/svg/icon.svg
Metadata and options are set in the config sections of the same name.
* Keys are the same as the keyword arguments one provides to the ``setup()``
function.
* Complex values can be written comma-separated or placed one per line
in *dangling* config values. The following are equivalent:
.. code-block:: ini
[metadata]
keywords = one, two
[metadata]
keywords =
one
two
* In some cases, complex values can be provided in dedicated subsections for
clarity.
* Some keys allow ``file:``, ``attr:``, ``find:``, and ``find_namespace:`` directives in
order to cover common usecases.
* Unknown keys are ignored.
Using a ``src/`` layout
=======================
One commonly used package configuration has all the module source code in a
subdirectory (often called the ``src/`` layout), like this::
├── src
│ └── mypackage
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── mod1.py
├── setup.py
└── setup.cfg
You can set up your ``setup.cfg`` to automatically find all your packages in
the subdirectory like this:
.. code-block:: ini
# This example contains just the necessary options for a src-layout, set up
# the rest of the file as described above.
[options]
package_dir=
=src
packages=find:
[options.packages.find]
where=src
Specifying values
=================
Some values are treated as simple strings, some allow more logic.
Type names used below:
* ``str`` - simple string
* ``list-comma`` - dangling list or string of comma-separated values
* ``list-semi`` - dangling list or string of semicolon-separated values
* ``bool`` - ``True`` is 1, yes, true
* ``dict`` - list-comma where keys are separated from values by ``=``
* ``section`` - values are read from a dedicated (sub)section
Special directives:
* ``attr:`` - Value is read from a module attribute. ``attr:`` supports
callables and iterables; unsupported types are cast using ``str()``.
In order to support the common case of a literal value assigned to a variable
in a module containing (directly or indirectly) third-party imports,
``attr:`` first tries to read the value from the module by examining the
module's AST. If that fails, ``attr:`` falls back to importing the module.
* ``file:`` - Value is read from a list of files and then concatenated
.. note::
The ``file:`` directive is sandboxed and won't reach anything outside
the directory containing ``setup.py``.

The aliases given below are supported for compatibility reasons,
but their use is not advised.

============================== ================= ================= =============== =====
.. note::
A version loaded using the ``file:`` directive must comply with PEP 440.
It is easy to accidentally put something other than a valid version
string in such a file, so validation is stricter in this case.
Notes:
1. The ``version`` file attribute has only been supported since 39.2.0.

.. note::
**packages** - The ``find:`` and ``find_namespace:`` directive can be further configured
in a dedicated subsection ``options.packages.find``. This subsection
accepts the same keys as the ``setuptools.find_packages`` and the
``setuptools.find_namespace_packages`` function:
``where``, ``include``, and ``exclude``.
**find_namespace directive** - The ``find_namespace:`` directive is supported since Python >=3.3.
Notes:
1. In the ``package_data`` section, a key named with a single asterisk (``*``)
refers to all packages, in lieu of the empty string used in ``setup.py``.
