packstrap 0.7.1

Description:

packstrap 0.7.1

Bootstrap new Python packages with one simple command:
packstrap create my_package
When starting a Python package a lot of boilerplate is involved. You
have to make several files and directories. When you decide to distribute
your package you have to write a setup.py and reference docs for even the
basics. Packstrap aims to make starting a Python package simpler.

Install

pip install packstrap
packstrap –help



Creating a Package
With Packstrap, creating a package is a simple as one command:
packstrap create my_package /path/to/code --author "My Name" --plugin git --plugin fabfile --plugin pytest
This will create a my_package directory in /path/to/code with a structure similar to:
/path/to/code/my_package/
.gitignore
LICENSE
MANIFEST.in
README.rst
VERSION.txt
fabfile.py
setup.py
src/
my_package/
__init__.py
tests/
conftest.py
runtests.py
Packstrap creates the base files for a python project and fills in the basics for setup.py, README.rst, etc.
The git plugin creates .gitignore, the fabfile plugin creates fabfile.py, and the pytest plugin creates the
src/tests directory and files.
So now all you have to do is write your module in my_package, expand on your docs in README.rst, and commit
your package.


Set Defaults
packstrap create has several options to help generate your package. A lot of the options like author, author_email, and even plugins are going to be the same for all your projects. To save you some keystrokes you can use packstrap defaults:
packstrap defaults --author "My Name"
{
"author": "My Name",
"skeleton": "default"
}
You can also use packstrap defaults without options to list the current defaults.
