## Simple Python routine for creating a new AVR project
## Feel free to extend this to meet your needs

## In particular, main.h includes nearly every AVR library you'll ever need
##   which is no problem, b/c the linker will just ignore the unused ones.
##   But if you're not using them, it might cause confusion later.
##   Trim them down to fit?

## Or, if you're feeling DIY, you can just copy the Makefile, main.c and main.h
## into a new directory yourself.  The other files are optional, but handy. 

import os
import shutil
import sys

## Get command-line input
class UsageError(Exception):
    pass
try:
    newProjectName = sys.argv[1]
except IndexError:
    raise(UsageError("Please specify a project name on the command-line.\n"))

## Create new project directory...
## ... in parent directory
## relativeDirectory = os.path.join(os.path.pardir, newProjectName)
## ... or in this directory, and you get to move it yourself.
relativeDirectory = newProjectName
os.mkdir(relativeDirectory)

## Files copied directly over...
def copyToNewDirectory(whichFile, newDirectory):
    shutil.copy(whichFile, newDirectory)
## ... these ones. 
for filename in ["Makefile", "main.c", "main.h", "USART.h", "USART.c", "macros.h"]:
    copyToNewDirectory(filename, relativeDirectory)

print "Copied Makefile, main.c, and main.h into %s." % relativeDirectory
print "Time to start coding."
