incipio is a Python package for creating Python packages.

>>> import incipio
>>> incipio.create_package("pyAwesome", ".", author="Guido")

incipio can be installed using pip:

$ pip install incipio

incipio is written for Python 3. If the above installation fails, it may be that your system uses pip for the Python 2 version - if so, try:

$ pip3 install incipio

incipio currently has no dependencies.

incipio is a Python package for automatically generating a lot of the boilerplate that comes with starting a new Python package. The aim is for you to be able to start Python, import incipio, execute one function, and have the package be created to order.

The create_package is used to create Python packages. The following will create a Python package called 'pyAwesome' in the user's home directory:

>>> import incipio
>>> incipio.create_package("pyAwesome", "/home/guido")

The author's name needs to appear in a lot of places, and this can be provided easily enough:

>>> incipio.create_package("pyAwesome", "/home/guido", author="Guido R")
