Project bootstrap

EnOSlib project can be a single python file but sometimes it’s better to structure a bit more your experimental framework. In this direction, we’re doing our best to maintain a project template that you can use.

This includes:

• an example to work with the Vagrant and Grid’5000 provider

• a command line interface

• a set of enostask to orchestrate a minimal experience

• third party tools like sphinx (documentation), pytest (unit tests), tox and a travis integration.

Bootstrap a new project

Install the latest Cookiecutter if you haven’t installed it yet (this requires Cookiecutter 1.4.0 or higher):

pip install -U cookiecutter

Generate an Enoslib project:

cookiecutter https://github.com/msimonin/cookiecutter-enoslib.git
