Makefile?
NPM?
Python?

My experience is primarily with Makefiles and automake, but only for C programs.

Do you think something like this would be a good way to get started?

I'm not familiar enough with Python or Makefiles to know, but I would appreciate the help with this if you or someone else is willing to put something together. I fear that it might get complicated since many of the python features used by this project are out of date or no longer installable without an upgrade. Perhaps using a docker image or Ubuntu snap project would be better, although docker images are overkill and snaps are vendor locked.
