Simple utilties for Plone product initilisation and installation.
Project description
This library originated from a desire to do away with the large amount of boilerplater code required to bootstrap a Plone product. It provides installer, deinstaller and initaliser classes that provide reasonable default behaviour. It uses the old (Plone 2.x) way of installing old-fashioned Products but these are still surprisingly common in these days of egg-ified Plone add-ons (and sometimes easier to write). It won’t fit all purposes but does make for quick-and-dirty bootstrapping of a Product. It also includes some other useful utility functions for Plone, mostly with a eye towards manipulating Plone from the debug prompt. There are numerous other Products or package that provide similar functionality, including InstallUtils and PloneUtils.
