Metaparticle for Python

Metaparticle/Package is a collection of libraries intended to make building and deploying containers a seamless and idiomatic experience for developers.

This is the implementation for Python (3.x, tested on 3.6.x).

Introduction

Metaparticle/Package simplifies and centralizes the task of building and deploying a container image.

Here is a quick example.

Consider this simple Python application:

def main():
    print('Hello World')


if __name__ == '__main__':
   main()

To containerize this application, you need to use the metaparticle library and the containerize wrapper function like this:

from metaparticle import Containerize


@Containerize(package={'name': 'testcontainer', 'repo': 'brendanburns', 'publish': True})
def main():
    print('hello world')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

When you run this application, instead of printing "Hello world", it first packages itself as a container, and then (optionally) deploys itself inside that container.
