[Paste] paster quickstart?

Hello.
I am trying to tell my program to ask user for input filenames and
based on that it will need to create 2 .py files for each filename. I
need to substitute the names of few fields in the .py files and add
some things depending on extension. Right now I just want to create
folder and single file in it, nothing fancy until I get an idea of how
this whole thing is structured.

So I guess I want to create a program similar to paster create myapp,
but it would be called from a command line: myapp create somename ????
or paster -t myapp? or?

"paster create myapp" command created a structure of my program that
will be creating my custom files.

I read over here
(http://pythonpaste.org/script/developer.html#templates) that I can
use

[paste.paster_create_template]

    framework = framework.templates:FrameworkTemplate

1. What will above do, and how can I call it later from a command line?
paster create -t framework ???

2. I add that I don't see it as being listed as template.? Where is a
line that tells me I work on myapp vs I work on what will "myapp"
create?
paster create --list-templates

3. I need some help on what should be set where and how to get it
working so at least one file is created.

My current structure is:

 tree MyAPP/

MyAPP/
|-- __init__.py
|-- myapp
| `-- __init__.py
|-- myapp.egg-info
| |-- PKG-INFO
| |-- SOURCES.txt
| |-- dependency_links.txt
| |-- entry_points.txt
| |-- not-zip-safe
| |-- paster_plugins.txt
| `-- top_level.txt
|-- setup.cfg
`-- setup.py


I start here : http://pythonpaste.org/script/developer.html
So I want to start with template and later go into commands.

I've been told I can create a templates with cheetah.

templates/

    somefile.py_tmpl

My final finish project would be something like this? I think:

some command to get it started?
...ask for Name....etc...

which will give

somename/
| --somefile.py
| -- setup.py...

4. Do I need a templates folder or can I just put my somefile.py_tmpl
into myapp folder (the structure above)?

5. What else I need to add?

I think I need to add below to setup.py file?!
setup(...

    entry_points="""
    [paste.paster_create_template]
    framework = framework.templates:FrameworkTemplate
    """)

6. What does framework do in above. Does it mean I can call it as
myapp -t framework?

And below I need to put into __init__.py?!
|-- myapp
| `-- __init__.py

"

 from paste.script import templates

class FrameworkTemplate(templates.Template):

    egg_plugins = ['Framework']
    summary = 'Template for creating a basic Framework package'
    required_templates = ['basic_package']
    _template_dir = 'template'
    use_cheetah = True

"


7. egg_plugins = ['Framework'], in my case this should be egg_plugins
= ['MyAPP']
_template_dir = 'template', in my case this should be _template_dir =
'myapp' ???
Anything else I should change?

If you guys could shed some light on where am I setting up the myapp
project, and where am I working on what will 'myapp' create?

Thanks,
Lucas
