Yeoman generator to create python workflows

[matthew_mcg]

I know! Not technically a workflow but I thought I'd come here to show it off anyway. 

 

One of the frustrating things about any development project is the initial setup.  That's where Yeoman comes in.  It is a code scaffolding tool most regularly used to make java/frontend applications, but it is conveniently easy enough to make anything... like the basic structure of an Alfred workflow.  I have not personally written a workflow in python, but I thought this could be useful to a lot more people than my crystal Alfred library (weird_al shameless plug!).  So without further ado, here is my generator-alfred-python.

 

Just make a blank workflow and go to it in the terminal.

 

Run:

 

 

then pick a name for your workflow:

 

 

and voila!

 

 

you have start of a successful Alfred workflow.

Handy.

 

You should probably change it to use the Workflow3 class, not Workflow.

Workflow is for Alfred 2 and doesn't support Alfred 3's new features.
