py-make 0.1.0

Makefile execution powered by pure Python

Bring basic Makefile support to any system with Python.

Inspired by work in tqdm.

Simply install then execute pymake in a directory containing a Makefile.

pymake works on any platform (Linux, Windows, Mac, FreeBSD, Solaris/SunOS).

pymake does not require any library to run, just a vanilla Python interpreter will do.
