Goal

Python tool to generate Objective-C wrappers for CoreData object models. emogenerator is inspired by Jonathan "Wolf" Rentzsch's mogenerator tool.

emogenerator also uses special comment 'guard' sections in the generated code to allow you to mix and match your code with auto-generated code. emogenerator also uses a mature and well maintained template system (genshi) to generate Objective-C source.

Install

With setuptools:

$ easy_install -U emogenerator
