I need to share/locally distribute an ArcMap Python Toolbox. I tried to proceed similarly to the description for ArcGIS Pro but I ran into some issues. Mainly, it did not include the .pyt file.
My Toolbox directory looks like this:
Toolbox
├ setup.py
├ Readme.txt
├ Example_data
│ ├ Subdirectory_with_files_and_folders_0
│ └ Subdirectory_with_files_and_folders_1
├── External
│ ├ Script_to_be_run_externally_in_Python_3.py
│ ├ Script_to_be_run_externally_in_Matlab.m
│ └ Even_more_such_scripts.py
├── Spectral (some entire Python package I copied here from Github)
│ └ All_files_and_subdirectories_of_this_additional_package
└── Toolbox
├ Functions.py
├ Classes.py
└ Toolbox.pyt
The following is my setup.py file:
import os
from setuptools import setup
def read(fname):
return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), fname)).read()
setup(name='Toolbox',
version='1.0',
author='Me',
description=("Some description"),
long_description=read('Readme.txt'),
python_requires='~=2.7.16',
packages=['Toolbox', 'Spectral'],
package_data={'Toolbox':['External/*',
'Example_data/*']}
)
I tried to create a dist archive calling the Python executable of an ArcPro installation I also have on the machine (and no, I cannot simply switch to ArcPro with the entire project; using ArcMap was not my choice):
> O:
> cd O:\path\to\my\toolbox
> "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe" setup.py sdist
This is the first Python Package/Toolbox I am trying to distribute, so there might be major errors or violations of best practices. Perhaps there is a lot to change here? Any help appreciated.
