GruntWurk Core for Python

This is the GruntWurk Core for Python — Just another Python project framework. It provides support for any type of Python project, especially:

Command-Line only tools (e.g. stdin → stdout filters)
A "simple control panel" framework for a quick-and-dirty app with lots of buttons that launch various scripts.
Any project that calls for: logging, standardized exit codes, command-line options, INI configs.

It also contains a collection of one-off "housekeeping" functions like installing a TTF font in Windows.

Note	This library was developed in Python 3.8 on Windows 10. Everything should work in Python 3.6 and/or on non-Windows boxes, but no guarantees either way.

Coming Soon: Cookie-cutter templates that utilize the GruntWurk Core to jump-start your projects.
