Crankshaft Python Package

Run the tests

cd crankshaft
nosetests test/

Notes about Python dependencies

• This extension is targeted at production databases. Therefore certain restrictions must be assumed about the production environment vs other experimental environments.
• Every dependency should be:
  • Added to the setup.py file
  • Installed through it
  • Tested, when they have a test suite.
  • Fixed in the requirements.txt

---

To avoid troublesome compilations/linkings we will use the available system package python-scipy. This package and its dependencies provide numpy 1.6.1 and scipy 0.9.0. To be able to use these versions we cannot PySAL 1.10 or later, so we'll stick to 1.9.1.

apt-get install -y python-scipy

Test the libraries

Test numpy library dependency:

import numpy
numpy.test('full')

Run scipy tests

import scipy
scipy.test('full')

Testing pysal

See [http://pysal.readthedocs.org/en/latest/developers/testing.html]

This will require putting this into dev/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setup.cfg:

[nosetests]
ignore-files=collection
exclude-dir=pysal/contrib

[wheel]
universal=1

And copying some files before executing the tests: (we'll use a temporary directory from where the tests will be executed because some tests expect some files in the current directory). Next must be executed from

cp dev/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pysal/examples/geodanet/* dev/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pysal/examples
mkdir -p test_tmp && cd test_tmp && cp ../dev/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pysal/examples/geodanet/* ./

Then, execute the tests with:

import pysal
import nose
nose.runmodule('pysal')
