Thu Oct 27 10:00:59 EDT 2011

Hi,
I have released pyKook 0.6.0.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Kook/0.6.0
http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kook/
http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kook/pykook-users-guide.html
In this release, a lot of enhancements are introduced.
pyKook Overview
---------------
pyKook is a task automation tool for Python, similar to Rake or Ant.
(Kookbook.py):
 kookbook.default = 'build'
 @recipe(None, ['hello'])
 def build(c):
 """build all"""
 pass
 @recipe('hello', ['hello.o'])
 def file_hello(c):
 """build 'hello' from 'hello.o'"""
 system(c%'gcc -o $(product) $(ingred)')
 @recipe('*.o', ['$(1).c', '$(1).h'])
 def file_o(c):
 system(c%'gcc -c $(ingred)')
Command-line:
 bash> kk # or pykook
 $ gcc -c hello.c
 ### *** hello.o (recipe=file_o)
 $ gcc -c hello.c
 ### ** hello (recipe=file_hello)
 $ gcc -o hello hello.o
 ### * build (recipe=build)
See http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kook/pykook-users-guide.html for details.
Enhancements in this release
----------------------------
* 'kookbook' variable is available in your cookbook to specify
 materials or default product.
* Recipe meta-programming support.
 You can manipulate recipe objects directly.
* Load other cookbooks by kookbook.load().
 This enables you to split your Kookbook.py into several files.
* Support some useful task recipes: clean, sweep, and all.
* Namespace is now supported. It is called as 'Category' in Kook.
* Concatenation supported.
 You can concatenate your cookbook and pyKook libraries into a file.
 Using concatenated file, user doesn't need to install pyKook at all.
* Argument description is available.
* Private spice option is available.
* New command 'pushd()' provided.
See http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kook/pykook-CHANGES.txt for details.
Have fun!
