Yet another Cookiecutter template to produce a repository to start a Python3 package.

It emphases on simple package with quality and not any relation to any service (state badge, pyup, travis, etc..) except Read the Docs link in README.

A sample built from this template is available on repository sveetch-python-sample.

Usage

Without installation

Basically to use this cookie to create a new project you just need to install Cookiecutter version 2.3.0 or latter: :

pip install cookiecutter>=2.3.0

You may then use it from its repository URL: :

cookiecutter https://github.com/sveetch/cookiecutter-sveetch-python.git

With local installation

To speed up project creation you may install this cookie on your system.

First ensure you have pip and virtualenv packages installed and GNU make available on your system. Then type: :

git clone https://github.com/sveetch/cookiecutter-sveetch-python.git
cd cookiecutter-sveetch-python
make install

Warning

You will need to update your install yourself opposed to the direct repository usage (without install) which always try to use the latest version from master branch.

We recommend to reset it and reinstall it again: :

git pull origin master
make clean install

Makefile task

You can use the included Makefile task: :

make project

It will create all new project in dist/ directory.

Bash alias

Once installed you can also create shortcut with a bash alias in your .bash_aliases: :

alias cookpy='/home/foo/cookiecutter-sveetch-python/.venv/bin/cookiecutter /home/foo/cookiecutter-sveetch-python'

So you will just have to execute following command to create a new project: :

cookpy

Options

You can define author full name, email, github username, pypi username, version start, package name and package short description.

Some of these have a default value filled from a previous value, obviously you can edit it to your own needs.

You can pre define some options in your cookiecutter user configuration to avoid some inputs. This is especially recommended for options related to author that you should probably always use the same.

Naming

For a given Sample bar project name:

• Package name will be sample-bar;
• Application name will sample_bar;

You can change package and application names during project creation.
