Stencil 0.2.1

Creates files and directories from templates

Stencil creates files and directories from templates. It is inspired by Paste Templates, but Stencil has no dependencies.

Installation

Install Stencil with pip:

$ pip install Stencil

It will also install argparse for python < 2.7. There is no python 3 support yet.

Usage example

To create new file or directory of files and subdirectories from <stencil> use:

$ stencil [global args] <stencil> [stencil args]

For example, using stencil new you can create a new project containing a new stencil:

$ stencil new mystencil

For creating stencils use new stencil as example. All stencils are collected together using entry points from Distribute.
