pkglts 7.8.0

Building packages with long term support

The rationale behind the creation of this ‘package builder’ is to keep the life
of a python programmer as easy as possible by providing three core functions:


A way to add more functionality to an existing package.
A way to keep the package structure up to date with currently known best
practices.
Remove repetitive tasks that can be automated from the list of things to do.



Quick start
Create a virtual environment for development:
$ virtualenv dvlpt
Activate it:
$ (on windows)dvlpt\Scripts\activate
$ (on linux)dvlpt/bin/activate
Install pkglts:
(dvlpt)$ pip install pkglts
Create a directory for your package:
(dvlpt)$ mkdir toto
Run ‘manage’ inside this directory:
(dvlpt)$ cd toto
(dvlpt)toto$ pmg init
(dvlpt)toto$ pmg add base
(dvlpt)toto$ pmg regenerate
This will create the bare basic minimum for a python package. Add more options
(see the add_option for more options) afterward. Especially, since in the example
above we just added the ‘base’ option that will create a ‘src’ directory to put
your code in it.


Documentation
More documentation can be found on readthedocs_pkglts. If you just intend to use this package
you can start with some tutorials. However, if the core functionality are
not sufficient and you want to be part of the development you might be interested
with the developer section of the doc.
