Atta

Introduction

Atta is a FREE build tool, targets-tasks driven, developed in pure Python.

Similar in philosophy to the Ant, NAnt, etc. but without the use of XML syntax nightmare.

Philosophy example

build.py script:

  from atta import *

  Project.defaultTarget = 'install'

  class prepare(Target):
    def Prepare(self):
      return True

    def Run(self):
      Echo('enter prepare')

  class precompile(Target):
    DependsOn = [prepare]
    def Run(self):
      Echo('enter precompile')

  class compile(Target):
    DependsOn = [prepare, precompile]
    def Run(self):
      Echo('enter compile')

  class install(Target):
    DependsOn = [prepare, compile, precompile]
    def Run(self):
      Echo('enter install', level = LogLevel.WARNING)

run Atta:

  $> atta

and output will be:

  Buildfile: build.py

  prepare:
      Echo: enter prepare

  precompile:
      Echo: enter precompile

  compile:
      Echo: enter compile

  install:
      Echo: enter install

  Build: SUCCESSFUL
