Python Project Tools is a package that makes developing and deploying proper Python packages easier.

This package can be a starting point for new applications with templates for:

• Sphinx documentation
• Automated doctesting through nose
• Travis configuration for automated testing of the nose tests
• ReadTheDocs compatible configuration

- Uniform variables like author, website and more for your setup.py and Sphinx configuration. - A complete setup.py including MANIFEST.in and documentated template explaining how to use setup_requires, packages, entry_points and more. - Git repository with automatic Github project creation - Creating and activating a virtualenv using virtualenvwrapper

It also has short commands for deploying your code:

• automatically running the test suite before deploying
• deploying your code to the Python Package Index (PyPI)
• deploying your code to git including creating a new tag for the release
• deploying the documentation to PyPI
• deploying the documentation to ReadTheDocs

While deploying it is possible to automatically sign the releases (both Git and PyPI) with your own GPG key.
