Generate good skeletons of Python applications.

Creating a new Python program require a lot of work: preparing the setup.py file, initial translation files, ...

StarterPyth aims at doing this for you. Just choose your type of application, and you get a functionnal starting point. You only have to write original code, not starting by copying the same code again and again.

You can decide to create different kinds of Python applications:

• plain-Python package
• command-line application
• Cython-based extension
• Django-based website with custom commands and optional modules
  • create basic configurations for nginx and Apache
  • examples of tastypie REST APIs
  • example of basic views and forms
  • use global configuration file (/etc/myproject/project.conf) [TODO]
  • basic use of dajax and dajaxice [TODO]

The goal is also to provide many useful extra commands for distribute. Here is a list of commands I want to write:

• generate API index file for Sphinx
• generate doc through Sphinx
• generate Pylint report
• compute dependencies thanks to snake food
• make i18n messages
• compile i18n messages
• generate pseudo-l10n files
• test documentation

I also want to provide templates for other classical Python programs:

• Django application
• Curse application
• PyQt applications
• daemon

You can install it with pip::

$ pip install starterpyth

...or from the source::

$ cd StarterPyth
$ sudo python setup.py install

Then you can call it through starterpyth-bin::

$ starterpyth-bin
