A quick and easy replacement for some `setup.py` implementations.

Standardized setup.py

Overview

This project contains a Python-based setup automation tool designed to help streamline the process of preparing and managing project setups. It includes utilities for handling versioning, dates, notes, and README files, leveraging a dynamic caching system to maintain state across sessions.

Planned Features

• Date Management: Automatically manages the date of the last modification using a custom class.
• Version Control: Validates and stores version numbers with a strict format.
• Notes Management: Supports capturing and formatting release notes for easy inclusion in project documentation.
• Automated Setup: Integrates with setuptools for seamless package distribution preparation.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• setuptools module

Usage

1. Initialization: Start by configuring the basic project parameters like name, version, and description.
2. Parameter Management: Through interactive prompts, manage various parameters including version number, modification dates, and release notes.
3. Setup Execution: Execute the setup to generate distribution packages and, optionally, publish them to PyPi.

Contributions are welcome! For feature requests, bug reports, or questions, please submit an issue.

Actually I would be happy to have some help with this project as making a setup.py every time is a bit boring.
