Patron is a cli generator for Flask inspired by Padrino’s generators but following flask conventions.

The philosophy behind this cli generator is to provide functionality incrementally to a project by generating code into an existing (generated) code base. While other scaffolds provide you with a solid base for your flask projects, this tool is more focused on speed of development so you can spend more time writing actual code to solve specific problems.

Can be found on pythonhosted.

This tooling was originally created for my own personal use and now has been open sourced.
