project_utils's Introduction

project_utils

project_utils is a destined to be a number of things. Right now, it does only 1 thing. But one day!

Right now, project_utils is a simple python script that can be used to create new web based project source trees based on very simple templates. Well, it should be in a little time.

tl;dr;: an in-development python utility to create new projects based on simple templates.

Features:

No config file required for template creation. Any directory will do. Which means that you can store anything, including nginx configs to quickly get a web dev project up.
A simple set of options when creating a project allows selection of availalble libraries (jquery, backbone.js) and frameworks (bootstrap, 960gs). The selected set is also included in the html files at places indicated by markers
All text files are processed as templates, so basic options like project name can be set automatically in all source files
putils can also copy the files for a specific library to the current directory. Useful to have all the libraries in one place and get them as required. No symlinks as that would interfere with deployment

Working Features:

Library adding functionality is working. Try putils.py -h for details

Future Features:

###Golang Project Creation:

pu tem golang should create a new $GOPATH style dir structure in the current folder {src, pkg, bin}
Template should have a shell script that activates the go-env like virtualenv for python. Script should add project dir to start of $GOPATH and bin to start of $PATH. Script should also provide ability to revert back these changes
