buildutils Distutils extensions for developing Python libraries and applications. buildutils provides several new commands for your package ``setup.py`` file to help make development easier. It integrates with `distutils <http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-distutils.html>`_ using ``--command-packages``, or automatically will add commands to all your `setuptools <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_ projects. ``addcommand`` add a custom distutils command to a package/setup.cfg file ``announce`` send a release announcement to mailing lists like python-announce-list@python.org ``bundle`` create a bundle of a package plus all its dependencies ``checksum`` generate MD5 and SHA-1 checksum files for distributables. ``etags`` generate an TAGS file over all packages and module (for use in Emacs). ``flakes`` find lint using the pyflakes utility. ``info`` dumps information about the project. ``publish`` push distributables and documentation up to a project site using ssh/scp/sftp. ``pudge`` build Python documentation from restructured text documents and Python doc strings, using `Pudge <http://pudge.lesscode.org>`. ``pytest`` run `py.test <http://codespeak.net/py/current/doc/test.html>`_ unit tests. ``stats`` dump statistics on the number of lines, files, modules, packages, etc. ``svntag`` make a Subversion tag for a versioned release ``use`` bring in a working version of a dependency (uses setuptools egg stuff). Buildutils is available in a `Mercurial repository <https://www.knowledgetap.com/hg/buildutils>`_. Ian Bicking, Ryan Tomayko 1630a5dec536c87a376fa91c571508b6c54e21fa 0.3
