* Package name : pyconfigure Version : 0.2.2 Upstream Author : Brandon Invergo <bran...@invergo.net> * URL : https://www.gnu.org/software/pyconfigure/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: Python Description : automatic configure script builder for Python software GNU pyconfigure provides developers with file templates for implementing standard `configure' scripts and `Makefile' recipes for their Python packages. pyconfigure supports different project needs, allowing you to write your build/install logic in Python or in Make. Developers with existing packages need not worry, as pyconfigure integrates well with what you have already written. . While the goal is to make it easier for Python packages to provide the standard configuration and installation procedure, pyconfigure also offers other advantages over the traditional Python-based methods. Because much of pyconfigure is based upon the powerful GNU Autoconf, packages that use additional languages such as C or Fortran automatically benefit from existing support without having to hack it in oneself, as in other Python-based solutions. Opting to use Make to write your installation logic provides you with a powerful, robust and flexible system that has been designed specifically with such processes in mind. I am currently a DM and will be needing a sponsor for this package. I intend to push the packaging repository to collab-maint once it's ready.
