Well, to be honest, I wonder how you can mess up with the
classifiers. I just always copy them from http://pypi.python.org/pypi?
%3Aaction=list_classifiers. Anything else is just insane...
But, if you wish for such a tool, let your wish be my command. With
the attached verifyclassifiers.py script, you may do so using the
following command:
python setup.py --classifiers | python verifyclassifiers.py
If the the setup.py file has a syntax error, I will know about it
when running buildout.
True, but running buildout can take a long time.
* You can generate an egg or a tarball locally, without uploading it.
Then you can take a look at the tarball or the egg. Unzip it if
necessary. Call
python setup.py egg_info inside the tarball, if necessary, to
see if all the
CHANGES.txt, README.txt etc. files are there as well, especially
when you know
you messed this part up before.
Still does not solve my problem use case.
You could also easy_install the egg and/or tarball in a virtualenv
(so that your global site-packages won't be affected).
I still do not see how this solves the problem.
They're measures for making sure the distribution has the right
metadata and is easy_install'able. What other problem do we have?
import sys
import urllib2
url = 'http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=list_classifiers'
file = urllib2.urlopen(url)
valid_classifiers = file.read().splitlines()
for classifier in sys.stdin:
classifier = classifier.rstrip() # cut of new line at the end
if classifier not in valid_classifiers:
print >>sys.stderr, "Invalid classifier:", classifier
