Python Hello World module to create an egg file

python-hello-world

##You can use this repository to create a python egg file which can then be used to test for libration installation.

##Requirement:

• Python 2.7.x
• Setuptools - build tool to create python egg file
• easy_install - python library install tool

Note: This git repository already includes hello-1.0-py2.7.egg located under dist folder.

You can simply download this file on your local machine and install it in you python environment using

easy_install hello

###Using the HelloWorld module

from hello import helloworld
print helloworld()

###Steps to create a python egg file:

• git clone https://github.com/ganeshchand/python-hello-world.git
• cd python-helloworld
• python setup.py bdist_egg. This will create hello-1.0-py2.7.egg file under dist folder
• Below is the directory structure

python-hello-world/
| build
| dist/
    | hello-1.0-py2.7.egg
  hello/
  | __init__.py
    | hello.py
| hello.egg-info
| setup.py

where build, dist and hello.egg-info artifacts are generated as part of the build process.

hello is a python package - a module that contains other modules; typically contained in a directory in the filesystem and distinguished from other directories by the presence of a file init.py. hello.py is a python module containg the source code.

__init__.py is required to make Python treat the directory as a python package
