A Python package helping to write and maintain Python packages.

Project description

Welcome! This is the documentation for pymetacode, a Python package helping to write and maintain Python packages.

Code that writes code - yes, that’s correct. Automating the boring stuff, one could say, or helping to focus on the creative part of programming. In any case, the idea for this package stems from experience with a couple of Python projects, and as such it is pretty opinionated, focussing on personal needs regarding structure and layout. Nevertheless, it tries to be as user-friendly as possible, coming with an intuitive command-line interface (CLI).

Want to get an idea? Here you go. Creating a new package would be a two-step process:

  1. Write a configuration file for your new package (and afterwards fill it with sensible content)

pymeta write config to mypackage_config.yaml
  1. Create the basic Python package structure for your package.

pymeta create package from mypackage_config.yaml

Once you have your package structure, you can add modules, classes, and functions to your package from within the package’s root directory any time:

pymeta add module mymodule
pymeta add class MyClass to mymodule
pymeta add function my_function to mymodule

And now - happy coding!

Features

A list of features:

  • Create initial package structure (directory layout, files)

  • Add module, class, and function scaffolds to an existing project, including tests and API documentation

  • Intuitive command-line interface (CLI)

And to make it even more convenient for users and future-proof:

  • Open source project written in Python (>= 3.7)

  • Developed fully test-driven

  • Extensive user and API documentation

Installation

To install the pymetacode package on your computer (sensibly within a Python virtual environment), open a terminal (activate your virtual environment), and type in the following:

pip install pymetacode
