Automatically create and update a spack package base on the pypi.org information.

Cons:

• Faster package creation than using the default option spack create
• Automatic updating of existing packages with information contained on pypi.org

// install 
pip install pip2spack 

// create new one
pip2spack create jsl

// update a internal (bultin) package
pip2spack update codecov 

// download latest package locally 
pip2spack download jsl codecov

Later, the package will be added into pypi repository.

pip install pip2spack

To build a .whl package

pip install setuptools wheel twine
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

Than go to dist directory and type

pip install pip2spack-1.0-py3-none-any.whl

Before you run the script download a spack and export SPACK_ROOT.

To run a script, provide a package names:

pip2spack create {package_names_for_convert}

Example for creation one new package:

pip2spack create jsl 

you can also create more than one in single run:

pip2spack create jsl codecov

Since v0.2, pip2spack is able to update builtin packages to newest version base on the pypi.org information.

No more adding a new version thru Spack's Pull Requests!

Example:

pip2spack update codecov

Notice: You can not to create and update packages at once. These operations are separated (in actual version)

Since v1.1, pip2spack is able to download latest .tar.gz/.whl package locally, using download command

Example:

pip2spack download jsl codecov

Packages will be stored at the temp directory (depends on the OS), proper information wit storage place will be displayed.
