Add a kinto init command about kinto HOT 5 CLOSED

In order to accomplish this, a new command should be registered.

See how entry points are being handled in the Cliquet project.

You should be able to do this by registering an entry point for the name "kinto". Then, you should use argparse with subparsers in order to handle the different commands.

I came across a library click (http://click.pocoo.org/5/) I guess it would be helpful for other commands also.

Good idea @oak11!

I think we have to distinguish the kinto init from the two others. Indeed, for init the user will be prompted for values and options. Whereas for migrate (and serve), it will only consist in cabling the existing pserve and cliquet migrate existing commands.

The hardest part of the init command is to implement the prompts with a nice presentation. That's why we can try to find some existing tools that could simplify the task. pcreate and cookiecutter could be some good candidates :)

From what I read, click is a helper to implement a command with options like --count=5. There are many tools that provide this functionnality (see below), including some from the standard python library. As a rule of thumb, when this happens, we shall never choose without list our needs. And so far, in terms of command-line options, I haven't thought of anything special!

Tools for CLI parsing:

• http://docopt.org
• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/clize
• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/begins

Toolkits:

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/prompt_toolkit
• http://builtoncement.com
• https://plumbum.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Thats true, For now, I'll continue working on the init command. Thanks for the tools and toolkits listed above, they seem interesting to use. I'll try working with them once the init command is done.

Done in 1.9.0
