Description

Simplifies Python application rollout and publishing.

• Make a skeleton for your new application with one console command.

• Automatically create a VCS repository for your application.

• Automatically check whether the chosen application name is not already in use.

• Customize new application layouts with skeleton templates.

• Put some skeleton default settings into a configuration file not to mess with command line switches anymore.

• Easily add entries to your changelog.

• Publish your application to remotes (VCS, PyPI) with single command.

Application scaffolding

Scaffold a new application:

$ makeapp new my_new_app /home/librarian/mynewapp/ -d "My application." --author "The Librarian"

This will create a decent application skeleton (setup.py, docs, tests, etc.) and initialize Git repository.

Application publishing

When you’re ready to publish issue the following command while in project directory (containing setup.py):

$ makeapp release

This will automatically:

• bump up application version number

• tag version in VCS

• push sources to remote repository

• upload application package to PyPI

Adding changes

When you’re ready to add another entry to your changelog use change command:

$ makeapp change "+ New 'change' command implemented"

This will also stage and commit all changed files.

Bash completion

To enable bash completion for makeapp command append the following line into your .bashrc:

eval "$(_MAKEAPP_COMPLETE=source makeapp)"
