It seems like PasteScript's paster create
functionality is just about the only widely used framework for building/generating a project skeleton within python. I'm wondering if there are any alternatives in the python world that folks use?
Update
I want to comment on my experience since originally asking this question. The accepted answer still stands - there are a number of templating/skeleton packages out there one could use. However, from the other answers given, I did start to use mr.bob and have checked out cookiecutter. Both are generic (as in not bound to a particular framework), easy to use and relatively current and active projects - which were part of the criteria I was looking for but did not detail in my original question.
I'm rather partial to cookiecutter. It works for Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, and PyPy on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. It's fully documented, actively maintained, well tested, and really easy to use. Here is my blog entry on it. It even has its own Stack Overflow tag: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/cookiecutter
