python-astropy-helpers

This project provides a Python package, astropy_helpers, which includes
many build, installation, and documentation-related tools used by the Astropy
project, but packaged separately for use by other projects that wish to
leverage this work.  The motivation behind this package and details of its
implementation are in the accepted Astropy Proposal for Enhancement (APE) 4:
https://github.com/astropy/astropy-APEs/blob/master/APE4.rst
astropy_helpers includes a special "bootstrap" module called
ah_bootstrap.py which is intended to be used by a project's setup.py in
order to ensure that the astropy_helpers package is available for
build/installation.  This is similar to the ez_setup.py module that is
shipped with some projects to bootstrap setuptools.
