easydev is a package I use for the development of other software available on pypi. It provides utilities that are of general usage for the development of Python packages. It has been used also as an incubator for other packages (e.g., http://pypi.python.org/pypi/colormap).

For instance, it provides the sphinx templates being used for this documentation. It is also used by other packages where documentation using Sphinx is being used (e.g., rtools, spectrum). It provides tools such as multisetup (to ease the development of several packages within a single namespace), or mulitgit, a mechanism to get the path of the share directory of any package, functions that are used often such as type checking and so on.

There is also now a Progress class, which is quite handy:

from easydev import Progress
pb = Progress(1000)
for i in range(1,1000+1):
    # do something
    pb.animate(i)

Similar projects are pytools, pytoolbox.
