Python support about ventriloquist

[fgrehm]

Ditto what I said in PHP but with the difference that I've never done any "real world python" before :)

[josegonzalez]

I believe python 2.7 comes out of the box on Ubuntu, but they will be moving to 3.3 in the future.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/244544/how-to-install-python-3-3

I'm more familiar with how buildpacks work, so if python is supported out of the box with ventriloquist, then fuck yeah.

[fgrehm]

Same question I have for PHP: is there something like rvm for python?

Going a bit off topic, I'd love to make use of buildpacks from within ventriloquist and it is actually listed as one of the ideas for improvement on the README:

Use a Docker container as the dev environment within the Vagrant VM, maybe using Buildstep or something like it to configure it.

I haven't given much thought to it but if you are up for discussing feel free to open a new issue :)

Pyenv is likely what you want.

Thanks! I'll have a look at it

[josegonzalez]

Any luck with this? I'd help but I have no idea what I'm doing :(

[fgrehm]

Unfortunately not yet :( hoping to do some work on it over the weekend

Some notes of on manually setting this up:

sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libreadline-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev libbz2-dev
git clone git://github.com/yyuu/pyenv.git $HOME/.pyenv
echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.profile
echo 'export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile
echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> ~/.profile
pyenv install 3.3.2
pyenv global 3.3.2

python --version
Python 3.3.2

pip --version
pip 1.4.1 from /home/vagrant/....

How can I validate that we have everything in place for a "seamlessly python experience"? Is there a open source medium sized python app that I can try setting up to validate the setup?

[josegonzalez]

Django?

Django is just the framework, I want to try a full blown app to find out if things are glued together properly, something like Discourse or any other app that I can just do the equivalent of a bundle install && rake db:migrate && rails server but built with Django :)
I just found this django-sample-app and I'll give it a go now

[fgrehm]

BTW, they talk about virtualenv / virtualenvwrapper, should we include that by default?

[fgrehm]

Ok, so I ended up using https://github.com/ridethepony/django-fiber-example and it seems that things are working fine. I just had trouble using python 3.3 with it and had to downgrade to 2.7

I think I have enough info to implement this, will get to it as soon as I have a chance (probably over the week). Please ping me in case I forget to report back :P

[josegonzalez]

Yeah, I think including virtualenv/virtualenvwrapper is fine, though since the entire app is in a docker instance, we don't really need to do that. virtualenv is like gem bundles.

[fgrehm]

Just to be clear, the apps are not inside a docker instance but actually inside a Vagrant machine that gets configured with services that run within Docker containers. My plan is to eventually switch to using a Docker instance to run the apps but I'm still thinking about how that would look like.

Regarding virtualenv, I think we can leave it out for now. Whether the app is on a Docker container or a Vagrant VM I believe it already gives us enough isolation :)

[josegonzalez]

ah gotcha. twerks for me

[fgrehm]

@josegonzalez So I did some work on this that is available at the 19-python-support branch, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try it out:

git clone https://github.com/fgrehm/ventriloquist.git
cd ventriloquist
git checkout 19-python-support
bundle install
rake build
vagrant plugin install pkg/ventriloquist-0.2.2.dev.gem

[fgrehm]

Oh, and to use it:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "your-box"
  config.vm.provision :ventriloquist do |env|
    env.platforms << 'python'
  end
end

[josegonzalez]

I might try it tomorrow.
