= PyMek - a better make =

This is the official home of !PyMek, a make-like buildtool.

!PyMek is written in [http://www.python.org Python] (duh), and has a few features that could be of use:

 * MD5 checksums to detect changes in files
 * XML buildfiles aka !PyMekfiles
 * Custom Tasks, implemented as Python classes
 * Extensive logging in all steps (possible to turn off ofc :)

!PyMek was never planned as a complete replacement for Make, it was simply a project of interest that could be used to learn interesting things as part of a [wiki:TheThesis Cand.Scient. thesis] at [http://www.ifi.uio.no The Department of Informatics at The University of Oslo]. As such, it may never actually be very useful.. :)

There is some limited documentation available at the DocumentationPage.

The project is dead, as I have no interest in developing the tool any further. There are no official releases to download, but if you really want you should be able to get a [http://ibidem.homeip.net/PyMek/svn Subversion checkout].
