Module for easy python modules creation
Project description
Picnic is a simple template engine for writing python modules. You open a console and in any folder you type
picnic.py ModuleName
and it will produce the following folder, with (almost ?) all the files you need. All there is left to do is write the actual code :
/ModuleName
/modulename
/__init__.py
/modulename.py # A file for the actual code
/setup.py
/README.rst
/LICENCE.txt
/MANIFEST.in
/ez_setup.py # for Setuptools
The created package is configured to work with Setuptools because Setuptools rocks.
Options
Two useful options are -git and -dev (the order doesn’t matter):
picnic.py ModuleName -git -dev
The -git option will initialize a git repository with the newly created module (requires git installed):
# it will run these lines in the ModuleName folder git init git add . git commit -m "Initial commit" # it will also create a python-specific .gitignore file
The -dev option will run the following command at the end to install the newly created module in develop mode (i.e. you can do your changes on the module without needing to reinstall the module each time to test it)
sudo python setup.py develop
Installation and customization
From the source
Get a zip of the code, for instance on Github . Unzip the code in some folder. You can check the models of the files README.rst, setup.py etc in subfolder picnic/files and change them as you like. Then use the following command in the folder where the setup.py is
sudo python picnic.py install
Or even better, use this command instead, it will enable you to change the models of the files even after the installation:
sudo python picnic.py develop
With pip (not recommanded)
Type this in a terminal
sudo pip install picnic
The problem with this installation is that you cannot customize the templates.
Test
To test if it works go to any folder and type
picnic.py TestModule
