1284846 - Update version and metadata and publish python-l20n on pypi

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(L20n :: Python Library, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

What's the right version number for python-l20n now?

Also, we should fill up the necessary meta data and publish the package on pypi.

The latter would be my preferred way to add it to compare-locales.

:pike - would you like to take this bug? I don't have an opinion on what version number we use, and I never published anything on pypi.

Comment 2

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

'k, I'll give this a shot. Probably OK to align versions with the js version? So 3.0 or 4.0?

Comment 3

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

3.0 is for the gaia edition, so now we're at 4.0-alpha1 and are aiming at 4.0 :)

Comment 4

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

I'm wondering, what's the rationale behind the current license? Related, would APL 2 be good instead?

Comment 5

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

... now we have 'ftl' as primary package.

I think we should rename that to l20n, and use l20n as package name on pypi.

It feels weird to have `pip install l20n` install ftl. And it feels weird to register ftl on pypi.

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

I think there's value in separating the syntax from the library in terms of naming.  My gut feeling is that `pip install ftl` should install parsers for the syntax, and `pip install l20n` should install the localization framework which uses those parses.

Comment 7

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Should we rename the repo then? To something like ftl.py?

Attachment: a few commits to get us relicensed and configured/refactored for pypi upload

We made a bunch of decisions in the meantime, and I created a PR to implement them.

I also registered the package at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/l20n, I didn't upload yet, though.

Decisions:

The package is named l20n, and we export that to client code. Moved the code, adjusted the tests.
We relicense to APL 2, per our licensing policy. gandalf, stas, and Matjaz agreed.
