Now I’m trying to use the cli, in a new directory with different code. But (for reasons I can not fathom) the setup keeps putting the old main.py into the directory it creates. How can I get crunch setup (etc) to forget my old main and create a new one?

When you setup, it always get the last version of your code so you can get back on work in seconds.

If that is not what you wanted, you can delete the main.py file (and other) and just start from scratch.

(There is currently no option to disable this behavior)
