python-package-template (pypack)

Provides a command to easily create a standard Python package layout (i.e. README, package directory, etc.), following the Python Packaging User Guide.

Features

Creates a complete Python package template, ready for creating distribution files and uploading to the Python package index (PyPI).
Uses Distribute by default.
MANIFEST.in template, with inclusion of README and other standard files, as well as ignoring of dist/ directory that gets created when building the the package's distribution files.
No external dependencies, only relies on Python standard library.

Quickstart

Run pypack, specifying the name of your new package (optionally, use command line options to provide additional information, see pypack -h).
1. If you want to create a new Python package in an existing directory, just specify the desired Python package name:
```
pypack mynewpackage
```
2. If you want to specify different directory, you may optionally use the -t (or --target) option to specify a target, non-existent directory:
```
pypack mynewpackage -t /new/path
```
Review/edit the generated files
Add your code, documentation, etc.
Create distribution tarball:
```
cd mynewpackage
python setup.py sdist
```
Register project on PyPI:
```
python setup.py register
```
Upload to PyPI:
```
python setup.py sdist upload
```
