This is a simple Python project template with setup.py. This template implements i18n and uses nosetests for the automatic testing.

The following changes need to be applied to use this template for your own application.

• Change content of tmppackage/init.py
• Change name of package within tmppackage/i18n.py
• Rename tmppackage drictory to the name of your application package
• Change TODOs in the bin/tmppackage_bin
• Rename bin/tmppackage_bin to the binary name of your desire
• Setup your tests in the test directory
• Change the values within setup.py
• Change all the tmppackages entry within the Makefile

This package requires the following packages to be usable:

• nose
• coverage

Install them with pip install. The easiest way is to use it with virtualenv.

$ mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages tmppackage

$ pip install nose
...

Run tests

$ make tests

This runs all the tests and creates a cover directory with the html output of the coverage report.

$ make source

$ make documentation

$ make update-pot

If you would like to add a new translation call the msginit command.

$ cd i18n
$ msginit --locale=de --input tmppackages.pot

After new string where added the transleted po files need to be updated. For this call

$ make i18n/de.po

To test the translation call the make source target since this builds the translations files and then call the application with the environment set to the language to test.

$ make source
$ LANG=de ./bin/tmppackages_bin
