Toolingpyst

Toolingpyst is an open-source Python toolkit designed to help teams build, extend, and orchestrate developer tooling for Python projects. It provides a framework for creating reusable tooling components—such as linters, formatters, test runners, and code generators—and composing them into repeatable workflows. The project offers a command-line interface that users can employ to initialize projects, run tasks, and manage configurations, and it supports a plugin architecture that allows third-party developers to contribute new tasks and integrations.

At the core, toolingpyst includes a lightweight runtime, a plugin API, and a configuration system. Tools and tasks are defined as plugins and can declare dependencies, lifecycle hooks, and input/output contracts. Configuration is typically expressed in a project-level file (for example, toolingpyst.toml or pyproject.toml) and can be extended via discovered plugins. A community registry provides ready-made plugins for common Python tools and workflows.

Typical use cases include scaffolding project tooling templates, composing tasks into pipelines, executing tasks across environments, and generating standardized reports. Through plugins, toolingpyst can integrate with existing tools such as linters, test runners, documentation generators, and packaging utilities, reducing boilerplate and enabling consistent workflows.

Development and governance: toolingpyst is maintained by an open community and hosted on a public code repository. Contributions follow an established set of guidelines, including issue tracking, code reviews, and automated tests. The project is released under an open-source license and pursues semantic versioning.
