merge_stripped_package(stripped_package_zip_data=None, stripped_package_filename=None)[source]

Use the files from stripped_package_zip_data and include it in current unzipped package, remove files not in manifest, and recheck file hashes.

package_certificates()[source]

Return certificates from package. If package is built, take it from Zip else take the certificates from unzipped directory

Returns:
list: list of embedded certificates when package was signed or None if not provided or signed.

First one of the list is the signer, the others are optional intermediate CA

package_ident()[source]

Version independent package key

Returns:

tuple

parse_version()[source]

Parse version to major, minor, patch, pre-release, build parts.

save_control_to_wapt(fname=None, force=True)[source]

Save package attributes to the control file (utf8 encoded)

Update self.locapath or self.sourcespath if not already set.

Args:
fname (str)base directoy of waptpackage or filepath of Zipped Packges.

If None, use self.sourcespath if exists, or self.localpath if exists

force (bool) : write control in wapt zip file even if it already exist

Returns:

PackageEntry : None if nothing written, or previous PackageEntry if new data written

Raises:

Exception: if fname is None and no sourcespath and no localpath Exception: if control exists and force is False

set_software_version(version, inc_build=False)[source]

Set the software version only inc_build will increment the buildnumber

sign_package(certificate, private_key, mds=['sha256'], keep_signature_date=False, excludes_full=['.svn', '.git', '.gitignore', 'setup.pyc', '__pycache__'], excludes=[])[source]

Sign a package source directory or an already built (zipped) package. Should follow immediately the build_package step.

Append signed control, manifest.sha256 and signature to zip wapt package If these files are already in the package, they are first removed.

Use the self.localpath attribute to get location of waptfile build file.

Args:

certificate (SSLCertificate or list): signer certificate chain private_key (SSLPrivateKey): signer private key keep_signature_date (bool): If true, previous date fo signature is kept (useful when resigning is needed, but no meaningful change has been done) mds (list): list of message digest manifest and signature methods to include. For backward compatibility. excludes_full (list) : list of exact (relative to package root) filepathes to exclude from manifest. excludes (list) : list of file / dir patterns to exclude, whatever level they are in the file hierarchy

Returns:

str: signature

sign_stripped_package(certificate, private_key, excludes_full=['.svn', '.git', '.gitignore', 'setup.pyc', '__pycache__'], excludes=[], sign_setuppy=False)[source]

Sign an unzipped source package assuming digests in manifest file are OK except for control and certificate.crt * remove signature files -> WAPT/certificate.crt, WAPT/signature.sha256, * resign WAPT/control * update control hash in WAPT/manifest.sha256 * resign WAPT/manifest.sha256 and put in WAPT/signature.sha256

Args:

certificate (list of SSLCertificate) : certificates chain of the signer. First certificate is the signer’s one. other are intermediate CA private_key (SSLPrivateKey) : key to sign the control and manifest files. excludes_full excludes

Returns:

str: signature of manifest.sha256

unzip_package(target_dir=None, cabundle=None, ignore_missing_files=False)[source]

Unzip package and optionnally check content

Args:

target_dir (str): where to unzip package content. If None, a temp dir is created cabundle (list) : list of Certificates to check content. If None, no check is done

Returns:

str : path to unzipped packages files

Raises:

EWaptNotAPackage, EWaptBadSignature,EWaptCorruptedFiles if check is not successful, unzipped files are deleted.

Version Class

class setuphelpers.Version(version, members_count=None)[source]

Version object of form 0.0.0 can compare with respect to natural numbering and not alphabetical

Args:

version (str) : version string member_count (int) : number of version memebers to take in account.

If actual members in version is less, add missing memeber with 0 value If actual members count is higher, removes last ones.

>>> Version('0.10.2') > Version('0.2.5')
True
>>> Version('0.1.2') < Version('0.2.5')
True
>>> Version('0.1.2') == Version('0.1.2')
True
>>> Version('7') < Version('7.1')
True

Changed in version 1.6.2.5: truncate version members list to members_count if provided.

sortable_str()[source]

Output a str suitable for direct ordering members are converted to a chars hex padded with zero on the left. If member is not a digit, it is padded to a 8 chars string padded with spaces on the right.
