LinkedIn today is releasing via open source {py}gradle, a plugin for running Python builds in the popular Gradle software build automation system.
With {py}gradle, Python and Java shops can use the same build system, said Stephen Holsapple, lead on Python development at LinkedIn. The plugin is accessible under an Apache 2 license.
LinkedIn is using the open-sourcing to gauge the community's perspectives on what it wants from {py}gradle; pull and feature requests will be accepted. The plugin currently is in a 0.3 release stage, with a 1.0 release planned in about two weeks, after feedback from the community.
