Making modules in Python is harder than it should be, so let's make it easier by creating the module structure automatically. carpyt is a module creation tool for Python, that is heavily inspired by Cargo, Rust's package manager. My aim is to get carpyt rolled into pip as the pip new command.
carpyt has a miriad of wonderful features, none of which have actually been implemented yet, including:
- Automated creation of the module folder structure
- Automatic
setup.pycreation - A choice of module style (bin or lib)
- Unit tests from day 0
- Easily create docs!
- Git integration (to initialise a repo and scrape your deets!)
- Easy publishing to PyPI
With these amazing features, why wouldn't you use carpyt!?
It's easy to install carpyt:
pip install carpyt
And then you can make a new module like this:
carpyt new --bin super_great_cmdline_tool
No one's ever asked me any questions about this project, but that's not going to stop me having an FAQ section!
A great question! The name is a portmanteau of Cargo and Python, and fufils one of the major criteria of all great Python modules, it has Py in the title.
It could be pronounced carpet, which is great because there's a snake called a carpet python, so that would work wonderfully, but my brain is incapable of allowing me to pronounce it any way apart from car-pie-t. Either way, it doesn't matter really.
YES! Just come along and do stuff. Make suggestions, complain, chat about the weather or even submit pull requests. I'll try and have some "need help" issue open at all times, come and snag one of those if you like.
They do work, I saw them running in my head movies.
That's not a question. Obviously you know nothing, have you not noticed the badges in this README? When was the last time you saw a rubbish project on GitHub that had tonnes of badges? Never, that's when.
