Stencil

Stencil creates files and directories from templates. It is inspired by Paste Templates, but Stencil has no dependencies.

Installation

Install Stencil with pip:

$ pip install Stencil

It will also install argparse for python < 2.7. There is no python 3 support yet.

Usage example

To create new file or directory of files and subdirectories from <stencil> use:

$ stencil [global args] <stencil> [stencil args]

For example, using stencil new you can create a new project containing a new stencil:

$ stencil new mystencil

For creating stencils use new stencil as example. All stencils are collected together using entry points from Distribute.
