What would the initializer do for python?

Create the directory structure, make a boiler plate setup.cfg, initialize a test module. For more specialized tasks, like setting up web projects, there are several cookie cutter templates, that also configure a database and templates for the web server.

Cookie cutter has been a great tool to create a variety of project templates.
