MtconnectTranspiler.Sinks.Python

This is an implementation of the MtconnectTranspiler with the purpose of providing tools to generate Python files from the object-oriented model.

Program arguments

In MtconnectTranspiler.Sinks.Python.Example/Properties/launchSettings.json you can edit program arguments.

First argument is the directory to place the generated output. The second directory is an optional argument

Example: "commandLineArgs": "\"$(SolutionDir)my_output\" \"/path/to/my/model/MTConnectSysMLModel.xml\""

Build and upload Python package

Prerequisites

• build: pip install build
• twine: pip install twine

Build the wheel

python -m build

Output is written to dist/.

Upload to PyPI or TestPyPI

https://test.pypi.org/help/#apitoken shows how to setup PyPI API tokens for uploading

Check version number in pyproject.toml (move it up, PyPI wont overwrite a package)

Upload to TestPyPI:

python -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

Upload to PyPI:

python -m twine upload dist/*

Install from TestPyPI

When installing a project from TestPyPI, its database is separate from live PyPI. This might cause the installation to fail because the package's dependencies likely do not exist on the test server (TestPyPI).

Use --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ to direct pip to use the normal PyPI server for dependencies.

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ pymtconnect --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/

Use pymtconnect==<version> to specify a version of pymtconnect to install

 pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ pymtconnect==<version> --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/
