Description : Cornuscopia of useful Python code
Shameful yank&paste from the PyPI description:
> We've all done it. In the process of writing a brand new application
> we've discovered that we need a little bit of code that we've invented
> before. Perhaps it's something to handle unicode text. Perhaps it's
> something to make a bit of python-2.5 code run on python-2.3. Whatever
> it is, it ends up being a tiny bit of code that seems too small to worry
> about pushing into its own module so it sits there, a part of your
> current project, waiting to be cut and pasted into your next project.
> And the next. And the next. And since that little bittybit of code
> proved so useful to you, it's highly likely that it proved useful to
> someone else as well. Useful enough that they've written it and copy and
> pasted it over and over into each of their new projects.
> Well, no longer! Kitchen aims to pull these small snippets of code into
> a few python modules which you can import and use within your project.
> No more copy and paste! Now you can let someone else maintain and
> release these small snippets so that you can get on with your life.
This package is a dependency of fedmsg, which is in turn required for my
GSoC project application[1]. I intend to maintain this package from
within the Debian Python Modules Team.
