generate ABOUT files from a CSV

[chinyeungli]

user should be able to generate ABOUT files from a CSV as an input

Current proposals:

A. An interactive prompt.

For instance, user only needs to type

python about.py
Then the script will prompt:

1. Collect ABOUT files context
2. Generate ABOUT files
3. Exit
   Select:
   something like the above, and the ask for input/output and all kind of options.

B. Create another script, maybe, called generate_about_file.py

@chinyeungli what are the benefits of the interactive prompt? IMHO another script would be simpler

[pombredanne]

what about calling genabout.py?

[chinyeungli]

B: Create another script - genabout.py is the winner

First pass: Create about files (Assuming the about file doesn't exist.)

Second pass: "Update" the about file (i.e. don't overwrite the about file if it already exists)

[chinyeungli]

In addition, the generated about file is lied side by side with the code and not in a specific output directory.

[chinyeungli]

My propose syntax:
python genabout.py [input csv]

[chinyeungli]

@pombredanne what should be version number for this script? should it be the same version as the about.py?

[chinyeungli]

creates the basic genabout.py
