[Chicago] Python Packaging Question.

[Samir Faci]

Well, the code itself is going through legal... so code wise I don't have
anything I can show yet.

The purpose of the actual program is as follows:

it creates a .py executable that will take in a series of CLI options.  I
need to reference a few XML template files.  (Jinja2 I think, though that
might go to mako at some point), reads a config.yaml file and via CLI you
give a relative path to a bunch of thrift files.

The code will figure out your dependency tree, and generate packages and
deploy artifacts for ruby gems and maven jars.  (once I figure out this
python thing, I probably should add python to the list of supported
languages as well).

for example:

./publishClients.py --local --service thrift/services/awesome_service.thrift



my idea scenario would be to have the yaml and xml live in the same folder
as the module install.  I'd like to be able to resolve the file path/
location of the .xml and .yaml files based on the __file__ or using the
inspect package.  The output would be created relative to the $cwd.

I hope this helps.
