        Packstrap
        =========
        
        Bootstrap new Python packages with one simple command::
        
            packstrap create my_package
            
        When starting a Python package a lot of boilerplate is involved. You
        have to make several files and directories. When you decide to distribute
        your package you have to write a setup.py and reference docs for even the
        basics. Packstrap aims to make starting a Python package simpler.    
        
        Install
        -------
        
            pip install packstrap
            packstrap --help
        
        Creating a Package
        ------------------
        
        With Packstrap, creating a package is a simple as one command::
        
            packstrap create my_package /path/to/code --author "My Name" --plugin git --plugin fabfile --plugin pytest
        
        This will create a `my_package` directory in `/path/to/code` with a structure similar to::
        
            /path/to/code/my_package/
                .gitignore
                LICENSE
                MANIFEST.in
                README.rst
                VERSION.txt
                fabfile.py
                setup.py
                src/
                    my_package/
                        __init__.py
                    tests/
                        conftest.py
                        runtests.py
        
        Packstrap creates the base files for a python project and fills in the basics for setup.py, README.rst, etc.
        The git plugin creates `.gitignore`, the fabfile plugin creates `fabfile.py`, and the pytest plugin creates the
        `src/tests` directory and files.
        
        So now all you have to do is write your module in `my_package`, expand on your docs in README.rst, and commit
        your package.
        
        Set Defaults
        ------------
        
        `packstrap create` has several options to help generate your package. A lot of the options like `author`, `author_email`, and even `plugins` are going to be the same for all your projects. To save you some keystrokes you can use `packstrap defaults`::
        
        
            packstrap defaults --author "My Name"
            {
              "author": "My Name", 
              "skeleton": "default"
            }
        
        You can also use `packstrap defaults` without options to list the current defaults.
