Cookiecutter Snekpack

A cookiecutter for making new Python repositories.

This template is different from @audreyfeldroy's cookiecutter-pypackage because it uses the source layout and has lots of code quality assurance checks built in. If you're looking for something similar but not quite like this, try her package or see her list of alternatives.

I've written several blog posts outlining all the ideas that made it into this template:

• Blog: Flake8
• Blog: Packaging
• Blog: CLIs
• Blog: CLIs and Flask

🛠️ Getting Started

1. Install cruft with:

   python -m pip install cruft

2. Run cruft with:

   cruft create https://github.com/cthoyt/cookiecutter-snekpack

3. Enter the requested information, then win! Remember, package names should only have letters, numbers, and underscores.

4. If you're working under version control, copy the repository into your folder tracked under git, commit the files, and push to your remote.

You can see an example repository of what happens right after you run these commands at https://github.com/cthoyt/snekpack-demo.

💪 Features

Your new python package will have the following:

• Standard src/ layout
• Declarative setup with pyproject.toml (following PEP 621)
• Reproducible tests with pytest and tox
• Reproducible notebooks with treon and tox
• A command line interface with click
• A vanity CLI via python entrypoints
• Version management with bump2version
• Documentation build with sphinx
• Testing of code quality with ruff in tox
• Testing of documentation coverage with docstr-coverage in tox
• Testing of documentation format and build in tox
• Testing of package metadata completeness with pyroma in tox
• Testing of MANIFEST correctness with check-manifest in tox
• Testing of optional static typing with mypy in tox
• A py.typed file so other packages can use your type hints
• Automated running of tests on each push with GitHub Actions
• Configuration for ReadTheDocs
• A good base .gitignore generated from gitignore.io.
• A pre-formatted README with badges
• A pre-formatted LICENSE file with the MIT License (you can change this to whatever you want, though)
• A pre-formatted CONTRIBUTING guide
• Automatic tool for releasing to PyPI with tox -e finish
• A copy of the Contributor Covenant as a basic code of conduct
