A _CodeMeta instance file_ (named [`codemeta.json`](https://codemeta.github.io/user-guide/) by convention) describes the metadata associated with a software object using JSON's linked data ([JSON-LD](https://json-ld.org)) notation, with a [standardized set of terms](https://codemeta.github.io/terms/).\n\nCurrently, software authors have to write `codemeta.json` files by hand or use tools such as the [CodeMeta generator](https://codemeta.github.io/codemeta-generator/).  Python developers also frequently use [setuptools](https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/) to configure their software in a reproducible manner, and in 2016, [setuptools version 30.3.0](https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/history.html#v30-3-0) introduced a declarative file format, [`setup.cfg`](https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#configuring-setup-using-setup-cfg-files), where authors can put configuration information that previously went into `setup.py` files.  A glance at `setup.cfg` files shows that the information contained in them includes some of the same information that is needed by `codemeta.json` files.  This presents an opportunity to automate the creation of a project `codemeta.json` file from something that Python developers already create for other purposes.\n \nMetagenesys is a program to create and keep in sync a `codemeta.json` file from a Python package's `setup.cfg` file.\n\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\n_Forthcoming ..._\n \n\nUsage\n-----\n\n_Forthcoming ..._\n\nKnown issues and limitations\n----------------------------\n\n_Forthcoming ..._\n\n\nGetting help\n------------\n\n_Forthcoming ..._\n\n\nContributing\n------------\n\n_Forthcoming ..._\n\n\nLicense\n-------\n\nSoftware produced by the Caltech Library is Copyright (C) 2020, Caltech.
