Astral Launches pyx: A Python-Native Package Registry
Astral unveils pyx, a Python-native package registry in beta, designed to speed installs, enhance security, and integrate deeply with uv.
Lets you generate directory structures from a template, optionally processing paths (variables in the path) and contents (e.g., render ERB templates).
gem install directory_template
The examples given below are working examples. The templates are part of the gem and can be found in the directory 'examples'.
Create a template from an existing structure and materialize it (create directories & files):
require 'directory_template'
variables = {
namespace: 'Namespace',
version: '1.2.3',
gem_name: 'gem-name',
require_name: 'require_name',
description: "The description",
summary: "The summary"
}
template = DirectoryTemplate.directory('examples/dir_gem_template')
template.materialize('new_project', variables: variables)
Create a template from a YAML file:
require 'directory_template'
variables = {
namespace: 'Namespace',
version: '1.2.3',
gem_name: 'gem-name',
require_name: 'require_name',
description: "The description",
summary: "The summary"
}
template = DirectoryTemplate.yaml_file('examples/yaml_gem_template.yaml')
template.materialize('new_project', variables: variables)
DirectoryTemplate is a library which lets you generate directory structures and files from a template structure. The template structure can be a real directory structure on the filesystem, or it can be stored in a yaml file. Take a look at the examples directory in the gem to get an idea, how a template can look.
When generating a new directory structure from a template, DirectoryTemplate will process
the pathname of each directory and file using the DirectoryTemplate#path_processor.
It will also process the contents of each file with all processors that apply to a given
file.
The standard path processor allows you to use %{variables}
in pathnames. The gem comes
with a .erb (renders ERB templates) and .html.markdown processor (renders markdown to
html).
You can use the existing processors or define your own ones.
Also take a look at the {file:documentation/ContentProcessors.markdown Content Processors Guide} and the {file:documentation/ContentProcessors.markdown Path Processors Guide}.
You can use this code under the {file:LICENSE.txt BSD-2-Clause License}, free of charge. If you need a different license, please ask the author.
