PURPOSE
-------

A work-in-progress manager for PyPI-like python distributions which aims to
be a "maximum overkill" don't-repeat yourself manager with a user
experience similar to Dist-Zilla ( http://dzil.org/ ).

Currently it is functional, but still a far cry from our vision.

Pydistman’s main improvement (or its “secret-sauce”) over many
PyPI-distribution-generating "cookiecutters" is that it generates a
fresh-full-fledged (and possibly one with recent improvements) distribution on
every build-command, including such build-commands intended to test local
changes. Currently, pydistman delegates a lot-of-the heavy-lifting to Chris
Warrick’s Python Project Template (
https://chriswarrick.com/projects/python-project-template/ ) and we thank him
for his work.
