Simplepkg – a simple Python package scaffolding utility

https://pypi.org/project/simplepkg/

https://gitlab.com/b5n/simplepkg

simplepkg is a a simple python package scaffolding utility, the generated package is immediately ready for installation via pip, or upload to PyPI.

I built simplepkg over the weekend, I've increasingly been picking up python work and needed a way to quickly and simply generate python packages. This project does not currently aim to compete with feature complete tools such as PyScaffold - it's meant to be quick, easy, and simple.

I do have some improvements planned, expect to see these moved into the GitLab issue tracker:

* Auto generate year for license file.

* Include author, author_email, and description as args or config entries to further automate the generation of licenses and setup.py.

* Error handling - I glazed over error handling - I'm working on a simple logging lib that I plan to use in simplepkg along with other projects.

* Tests - I need to add tests to simplify update process.

* Add simple test templates to the generated package.

simplepkg is far from perfect, feedback and pull requests welcome :)
