A little python package that helps loading externally managed SCons_ tools.

Installation
------------

To install module from pypi_, type

.. code-block:: shell

      pip install scons-tool-loader

or, if your project uses pipenv_:

.. code-block:: shell

      pipenv install --dev scons-tool-loader

Alternativelly, you may add this to your ``Pipfile``

.. code-block:: ini

    [dev-packages]
    scons-tool-loader = "*"

This will install a namespaced package ``sconstool.loader`` in project's
virtual environment.


Usage examples
--------------

Using tools istalled into "standard" namespace
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The "standard" namespace for pip-managed SCons tools is assumed to be
``sconstool`` namespace. In the following examples we assume that tools are
installed as namespaced packages, under ``sconstool`` namespace. This is
exactly how all the tools developed by the original author of the
scons-tool-loader_ get installed.

For example, the following code

.. code-block:: shell

   pip install scons-tool-clang

will install ``clang`` tool as ``sconstool.clang`` package. Once installed, it
may be used in a SCons script by extending default toolpath and loading the
tool to the construction environment

.. code-block:: python

  # SConstruct
  import sconstool.loader
  sconstool.loader.extend_toolpath()
  env = Environment(tools=['default', 'sconstool.clang'])
  env.Program('test.c')


If, for some reason, fully qualified package name can't be used as the tool
name, one may use "transparent" mode when extending toolpath

.. code-block:: python

  # SConstruct
  import sconstool.loader
  sconstool.loader.extend_toolpath(transparent=True)
  env = Environment(tools=['default', 'clang'])
  env.Program('test.c')

The above code will still load the ``sconstool.clang`` tool.


Using tools installed into "non-standard" namespaces
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Suppose, some tools get installed into ``vendor`` namespace. For example,
``vendor.foo`` and ``vendor.bar`` are installed somewhere under ``sys.path``.
These tools may be made visible to scons by using ``namespace`` parameter,
and ``scan``.

.. code-block:: python

  # SConstruct
  import sconstool.loader
  sconstool.loader.extend_toolpath(namespace='vendor', scan=True)
  env = Environment(tools=['default', 'sconstool.clang', 'vendor.foo', 'vendor.bar'])
  # ...
