skeleton a template for python projects

I presented a talk on sphinx  at the Auckland python users group. Instead of trying to present all the various interactions between sphinx and setup.py. I used skeleton, a tool that can be used to create python projects.

Skeleton uses templates to create a ready made project, similar to pastescript.

Imade a fork of this project on github and added a template where sphinx is integrated into the project. This fork is currently availible as skeleton_stu on pypi until the changes are merged to the original project. 

To create a basic sphinx package

$pip install skeleton_stu

$skeleton_package_sphinx [your_directory]

answer a few questions and then you are done :-)

Thanks for your talk.

Tried out skeleton_stu on Windows Vista. Hit installation error
ValueError: path 'skeleton/examples/' cannot end with '/'
so I removed the final '/' on line 20 of MANIFEST.in and the install worked.

Thanks I'll correct that now.

Do the project skeletons work ok under windows?
