bundle_lister.py is a Python (3.6.0) web scraper and file generator. First, it clones the clr-bundles directory, https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-bundles. Second, it parses content all bundles in the clr-bundles/ directory and the packages-descriptions file. Third, it uses Jinja2 to output the result of the analysis to: bundles.html.txt. This .txt file is then referenced in bundles.rst, whose title is Available bundles, which is currently: https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/reference/bundles.

bundle_lister.py automates documentation so it shows current bundles and packages per daily updates to the clr-bundles GitHub repository.

bundle_lister.py will be invoked in a bash script in the source/Makefile of clear-linux documentation. Therefore, bundle_lister.py will automatically create newly scraped and parsed data upon each build of the clearlinux.org website, and output an accurate, up-to-date table that shows all bundles and packages for interested Linux developers and admins.

See requirements.txt for dependencies necessary to run this application.

Python==3.6.0

To run bundle_lister.py in the terminal, enter: python bundle_lister.py.

Note: The cloned_repo directory must remain in the parent directory in order for this code to work.

Note: A successful build will produce a file named bundles.html.txt showing a table of current bundles and pundles (packages) alphabetized, with a (UTC) time and date stamp in the right corner. An unsuccessful build will result in traceback errors, which should be analyzed before running a new build.
