devel/py-pbr 7.1.3 OpenBSD

pbr ("Python Build Reasonableness") is a library for managing setuptools packaging needs in a consistent manner.

pbr reads and then filters the setup.cfg data through a setup hook to fill in default values and provide more sensible behaviors, and then feeds the results in as the arguments to a call to setup.py - so the heavy lifting of handling Python packaging needs is still being done by setuptools.

pbr can and does do a bunch of things for you:

• Version: Manage version number based on git revisions and tags
• AUTHORS: Generate AUTHORS file from git log
• ChangeLog: Generate ChangeLog from git log
• Manifest: Generate a sensible manifest from git files and some standard files
• Release Notes: Generate a release notes file using reno
• Requirements: Store your dependencies in a pip requirements file
• long_description: Use your README file as a long_description
• Smart find_packages: Smartly find packages under your root package
• Sphinx Autodoc: Generate autodoc stub files for your whole module
