This question concerns my process of creating Swift Linux from the base distro (antiX Linux in the past, Linux Mint Debian Edition now). (NOTE: The process I'm describing here is an oversimplification.)
All of my development work takes place in the ~/develop directory. This is the directory where I enter the "git clone" command to download the repositories from GitHub. These repositories are 1- build, majorfunction1, majorfunction2, and so on. After I download these repositories, I have the directories ~/develop/1-build, ~/ develop/majorfunction1, ~/develop/majorfunction2, and so on. The ~/develop/1-build directory contains the scripts that build Swift Linux. Each major function needed to create Swift Linux (such as changing web browser configuration files, changing login manager configuration files, etc.) has its own majorfunction# repository. For developing the latest version of Swift Linux, I had the swift.sh script in the ~/develop/1-build directory call scripts in the majorfunction directories with commands like: sh ~/develop/majorfunction1/main.sh sh ~/develop/majorfunction2/main.sh and so on Please note that one can run any of these major functions independently OR as part of the ~/develop/1-build/swift.sh script. The ability to run any major function independently means I can focus on just one function that's not working as it should WITHOUT messing around with other functions. This ability will be especially important when I have an actual team working on Swift Linux. What I'd like to do is replace GNU Bash with Python. I know I can replace the main.sh scripts with main.py scripts. Then the commands in the swift.sh script would be: python ~/develop/majorfunction1/main.py python ~/develop/majorfunction2/main.py and so on Is there a way I can replace the ~/develop/1-build/swift.sh script with a ~/develop/1-build/swift.py script, yet still retain the ability to work on one major function WITHOUT requiring the other major functions and the 1-build directory to be present? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
