[1.0] Release

[jsoa]

This branch a WIP and is intended to be the next, and really, the first release of app-skeleton. Below is a list of some things we would like to do for this release.

1.0

• ensure this app is also a package
• cleanup skeleton code to be pep8 compliant
• ensure the skeleton code works with django 1.4+
• ensure the skel can be used with django's startapp command
• choosing a different license per app creation (or have a default, see below)
• update/revision of the documentation as part of the skeleton
• local defaults
  • via some configuration file .djas?
  • specific default values for such things as author, license, default app dir, etc
  • perhaps defaults for django settings such as MIDDLEWARE or INSTALLED_APPS

Other possibilities

• change the create_app to be a shell script rather then a python script

Should be noted, that even though this app is called "app skeleton", you are actually creating a "package", so the first question that was prompted was "Application Name" which really meant "Package Name". The second question you were prompted was "Package Name" which really meant "Application Name".

The questions were reversed with this branch, and here is the definitions to the terms as it relates to this app:

• Package is the overall package name, the name used when installing. i.e. "pip install django-package"
• Application is the name used when importing, i.e. "import package"

Before this branch the terms might of been misleading and when adapting the skeleton it self to be compatible with django-admin.py startapp --template=, it became clear that the terms were reversed.

The create_app.py script is planned to be renamed to create_pkg.py as to not cause any more confusion as to what your really creating, a reusable application package.

Update:

Using virtualenv is now optional

Config file .djas is now utilized, below are the possible options

• author
• author_email
• destination_dir - where the pkg will be created
• template_dir - where the skeleton template is located
• use_venv - whether to use virtualenv or not, default is now n
  • Note: the file .djas is automatically created for you if it does not already exist. The first values supplied for the above options are set in the config file.

Re-worked the create_app script, mostly for readability (WIP)

Update

• Added command-line argument for using virtualenv --use-venv.
• Renamed create_app.py to create_pkg.py so its less confusing
• Updated README a bunch https://github.com/callowayproject/django-app-skeleton/tree/cp/1.0
