Test if aloha is properly installed¶

aloha info

This will display the package version information.

aloha start package_name.module_name
# e.g.: aloha start app_common.debug

Notice: this module_name MUST include a function named main().

Sometime, you need to compile your python source code into binary libraries to protect your source code.

Aloha helps you build your python source code into binary using Cython. You can run the following command to build your code.

aloha compile --base=./app --dist=./build --keep='main.py'

The following options can be used:

--base: the root folder which includes source code to build
--dist: (default='build') target folder for the binary code
--exclude: a collection of files/folders to exclude (you can specify multiple excludes by using this option multiple times)
--keep: source files keep as is and not converting to dynamic library (you can specify multiple excludes by using this option multiple times)
