    Maven like tool?

    Hi, I'm new to Python and looking to run a large project that would
    need automated builds and project reports such as unit test coverage.

    Maven is a great Java software to do this - but is there something I
    should use for Python? I did some searching on SF and this list but
    can't figure out what tools are used by teams to manage large Python
    projects (other than the obvious CVS).

    One idea is to create Maven plugins and reports that would work for
    Python. The plugin would offer build/test/pydoc. One report could be
    based on PyLint.

    Sounds like fun but I don't want to re-invent the wheel if something
    is already out there then I'd rather be a user for this one than the
    developer.

    Thanks in advance.

      Have you looked at SCons?

      The approach seems quite interesting and has the potential
      to avoid having to learn several different languages in order
      to do builds, as well as the possibility to scale well.

      Martin Fowler has this to say on the subject:

      bliki: Build Language
      http://martinfowler.com/bliki/BuildLanguage.html
      a bliki entry for Build Language


      Besides, it's in pure Python.
