Is Jython a risk to this project?

[ross-spencer]

Jython has documented that it wants to move toward a Python 3 release, but it's not here yet.

My own code is maybe a day away from being Pyhton3 compatible.

Adding unit tests to the code is maybe a few more days on top of that. One benefit of this entire utility, at least from a technical debt perspective, is that the skeleton files themselves provide an integration test of sorts. That's how we can make surface/aesthetic changes and know whether they are successful. When we get into more complex territory, e.g. signature parsing and output, it gets a little harder. When we come to add Python 3 lets see what we can add by way of unit testing.

Additional questions:

• Are there any other languages that would lend themselves well to writing this utility?
• What skew was introduced between the standard skeleton generator module and the container module?
  • Can they be combined and distributed as a sub-module?
  • What would combining repositories look like?
