Project description
Python Packager
A command-line tool to create Python Packages.
It’s intended as a quick way to create new Python packages. It is not a maintenance tool.
Usage:
$ pip install python-packager $ pypackager <mypackage> [options]
This will create a package in your current directory, complete with setup.py, AUTHORS and LICENSE files.
License files are generated by lice.
Options
All options can be specified on the command-linne or stored in a config file at ~/.pypackager/pypackager.cfg:
Command-line
--license
(alias of --license-type)
--license-type
Required. The license to include in the code. See lice for a list of the available licenses.
--license-organization
Required. The organization licensing the code. Most of the time this will be the same as --author-name
--template-dir
Optional. The directory that will be used as template.
Single files will be rendered using pystache.
The rendering context will contain every setting specified, plus a package_name variable containing the package name.
The special directory __package_name__ will be renamed to the package’s name.
--script
(alias of --script-prerender)
--script-prerender
Optional. If enabled, the specified script will be called before files are rendered from the skeleton. A typical example is a script creating a virtualenv.
--script-postrender
Optional. If enabled, the specified script will be called after files are rendered from the skeleton. A typical example is a script initializing a new VCS repository.
Storing options
To store your options (so you don’t have to type them every time) you can write them into a file called ~/.pypackager/pypackager.cfg:
[author] name = John Smith email = john.smith@example.com [license] type = bsd3 organization = John Smith [scripts] prerender = ~/.pypackager/my_prerender_script.sh postrender = ~/.pypackager/my_postrender_script.sh
Status
This software should be considered Alpha.
