Contributing

I started this library because I often have "half baked" python projects which I want to turn into a fully grown library and/or module.

This involves a bunch of annoying boilerplate such as: adding __init__.py files everywhere, creating a setup.py, creating an __about__.py ... etc.

I've created this library to take some of the hassle away from that. Currently it does a single thing, which is created __init__.py in every directory with python files, in the future I'd love for it to look at the files content and auto generate:

• A setup.py
• An __about__.py
• Maybe a simple .sh files that helps with deployment or print out some instructions for beginners as to how to go about deploying.
• Change all import's to use the proper module syntax
• Create the "standard" dir structure (e.g. for project blax move all "python related" files in a subdir called blax)

I'm curios if anyone thinks there's a need for such a library and/or if they want to contribute with the features above or some other ones. It's all fairly easy to do, just requires a bit of time and testing, but I will probably only add the features I need and the ones which other people want.
