  Description     : Python packaging Common Tasks

A utility package that includes:

  * pyct.cmd: Makes various commands available to other
    packages. (Currently no sophisticated plugin system, just a try
    import/except in the other packages.) The same commands are
    available from within python. Can either add new subcommands to an
    existing argparse based command if the module has an existing
    command, or create the entire command if the module has no existing
    command. Currently, there are commands for copying examples and
    fetching data. See

  * pyct.build: Provides various commands to help package building,
    primarily as a convenience for project maintainers.
