⚠️ This project is no longer maintained. As of 2020, it hasn't been updated in six or seven years. Use at your own risk.

Features

• Create a standard Python project directory structure
• Get help creating your setup.py file, or choose to write it yourself by passing the --snap command
• Clear your project of messy build files (build/dist/egg/pyc) with the --wash command
• Generate a distribute_setup.py file to use a setup.py file with distribute
• Use a tree-style menu to set your PyPI classifiers in your setup.py file

Example Usage

Create a new project like so:

$ pythong mynewproject

Or, for a quicker setup... :

$ pythong --snap

Including the project name in the command is optional.

You can wash your pythong of messy build files:

Pythong will help you add classifiers to your setup.py during project creation, or after the fact with the label command:

$ pythong --label

Files and directories can be added to the manifest file with pin:

$ pythong --pin [FILE_OR_DIRECTORY]

A full list of options can be seen with:

$ pythong --help
