The Paketo Python Start CNB sets the start command for a given python application.
It sets python as the default start command, which will start the Python REPL
(read-eval-print loop) at launch.
This CNB writes a start command, so there's currently no scenario we can imagine that you would need to require it as dependency. If a user likes to include some other functionality, it can be done independent of the Python Start CNB without requiring a dependency of it.
To package this buildpack for consumption:
$ ./scripts/package.sh --version <version-number>
This will create a buildpackage.cnb file under the build directory which you
can use to build your app as follows:
pack build <app-name> -p <path-to-app> -b <path/to/cpython.cnb> -b build/buildpackage.cnb
To run all unit tests, run:
./scripts/unit.sh
To run all integration tests, run:
/scripts/integration.sh
