Python build/release system

I started using Pyant recenently to do various build/release tasks but have recently discovered that development for this project has ended.

I did some research and can't seem to find any other Python build scripts that are comparable. Just wondering if anyone can recommend one? I basically need it to do what ANT does - do SVN updates, move/copy files, archive etc using an XML file.

Thanks, g

Some people use Paver for build/deployment of Python packages. While I know it works, it does not appeal to me that much.

Its not completely comparable but I tend to use fabric. Its more geared towards deployment with support for ssh to production host and runing things as root there etc.

Probably the best answer is to use Ant as-is... that is, use the Java version. My second suggestion would be to use scons. It won't take much time using scons before you're asking, "Who ever thought of using XML to script a build?"

what about maven? (http://maven.apache.org/) With the right plugins it can do much more then ant, it can even use ant for building if you configure it so.

It's very flexible and supports the full product life cycle. I really recommend you take a look at it.
