Modern-package-template is a project mainly written in PYTHON and SHELL, it's free.
[unmaintained] Modern project template for Python [2010]
modern-package-template is a PasteScript template
_ to create an initial layout
for your Python projects using modern tools and practices followed in the Python
community. Thus, your projects will have the following characteristics:
README.rst
and NEWS.rst
automatically included in your package
metadata as long_description
, thus making them appear in the PyPI page
for your project (example <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/applib>
).Here is a sample project
_ created using modern-package-template.
.. _PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/
.. _Buildout: http://www.buildout.org/
.. _supports: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-October/092678.html
.. Distribute: http://packages.python.org/distribute/
.. PasteScript template
: http://pythonpaste.org/script/developer.html#templates
.. _a sample project

First install modern-package-template using PyPM or pip:
::
$ pypm install modern-package-template
OR
$ pip install modern-package-template
.. _PyPM: http://code.activestate.com/pypm/ .. _pip: http://pip.openplans.org/
To create a Python project called "helloworld", run the following command in your terminal:
::
$ paster create -t modern_package helloworld
You can also, optionally, create namespace packages
_:
::
$ paster create -t modern_package my.new.package package=my.new.package
.. _namespace packages
: http://packages.python.org/distribute/setuptools.html#namespace-packages
Once you create the project layout, the very first thing you must do is to
review the contents of README.rst
and edit it accordingly.
