Question

Is there a python equivalent to perl's module-starter?

Answer 1

You probably looking for something like paster create that can create the skeleton for new projects for various frameworks. Some libraries may provide custom commands to create a new project e.g.,:

python -m cyclone.app -p foobar

The literal equivalent might be modern-package-template that uses paster to create a Python project with distribute and buildout support (I've never used it personally).

To package your application for Debian/Ubuntu you could use pkgme.

Answer 2

I barely speak Perl and have never used module-starter, but you might want to give distutils a look.
