It seems like PasteScript\'s paster create
functionality is just about the only widely used framework for building/generating a project skeleton within python. I\'
It depends on your framework. For Django applications, you use django-admin.py startproject mysite
. For developing GUI applications on Linux, there's Ubuntu's Quickly, which also creates a skeleton project. For Paste projects, you use paster.
There's not really a general purpose tool for what you're doing though. It depends on the framework, and usually, those scripts come with particular frameworks. And for what it's worth, PyCharm (an IDE) includes some project templates for things like Google App Engine too.
