-------------------------------
Summary: Improve the release script for Python API release package
Key: FLINK-14506
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14506
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: API / Python, Build System
Reporter: Dian Fu
Fix For: 1.10.0
Currently it assumes that the required Python environment(i.e. Python 3.5+,
setuptools, etc) are available in the local machine when executing
create_binary_release.sh to perform the release.
This could be improved and there are two options in my mind:
1) Reuse the script defined in flink-python module(lint-python.sh) to create
the required virtual environment and build the Python package using the created
virtual environment.
2) Document the dependencies at the page "[Create a Flink
Release|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Creating+a+Flink+Release#CreatingaFlinkRelease-Checklisttoproceedtothenextstep.1]";
and add validation check in create_binary_release.sh to throw an meaningful
error with hints how to fix it.
Personally I prefer to option 1) as it's transparent for users. Welcome any
feedback.
