Carpy

A package creation tool for Python inspired by Cargo

Features

New python packages can be created with the init command

$ carpy init testProject
Initializing package: testProject
Done

If the specified directory doesn't already exist, it will be created. Assuming the directory is empty, the project will be initialized.

$ tree ./testProject
testProject/
├── pyproject.toml
├── setup.py
├── requirements.txt
├── src
│   └── testProject
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── main.py
└── tests
    ├── __init__.py
    └── test_sample.py

Dependencies can be added with the add command

$ carpy add numpy
...
$ cat ./requirements.txt
numpy==1.23.4

The project is initialized all the files necessary for a project to be a valid python project, and it can be installed directly using:

$ pip install ./testProject

TODO Features

• Support authors and licenses in pyproject.toml. Currently having issues with serializing maps into toml.
• [p] Sub-command add <library-name>: Add a dependency to the project's requirements.txt file (and pyproject.toml or setup.cfg), and install it through pip if needed.
