pymetacode 0.5.1

pymetacode

A Python package helping to write and maintain Python packages.

Code that writes code – yes, that’s correct. Automating the boring stuff, one could say, or helping to focus on the creative part of programming. In any case, the idea for this package stems from experience with a couple of Python projects, and as such it is pretty opinionated, focussing on personal needs regarding structure and layout. Nevertheless, it tries to be as user-friendly as possible, coming with an intuitive command-line interface (CLI).

Want to get an idea? Here you go. Creating a new package would be a two-step process:

1. Write a configuration file for your new package (and afterwards fill it with sensible content)

pymeta write config to mypackage_config.yaml

2. Create the basic Python package structure for your package.

pymeta create package from mypackage_config.yaml

Once you have your package structure, you can add modules, classes, and functions to your package from within the package’s root directory at any time:

pymeta add module mymodule
pymeta add class MyClass to mymodule
pymeta add function my_function to mymodule

If you ever want to add a graphical user interface (GUI) to your project, this is (now) possible as well:

pymeta add gui
pymeta add window mysubwindow

And now - happy coding!

pip install pymetacode
