Generates the structure for Python libraries using cookiecutter.

Unix: Windows:

This is a template for a typical Python library following modern packaging conventions. It utilizes popular libraries alongside Make, Pandoc, and Graphviz to fully automate all development and deployment tasks. Check out the live demo: jacebrowning/template-python-demo

Here are a few sample projects based on this template:

• jacebrowning/sappy
• theovoss/Chess
• sprout42/StarStruct
• MichiganLabs/flask-gcm
• flask-restful/flask-restful

If you are instead looking for a Python application template, check out one of the sibling projects:

• jacebrowning/template-django
• jacebrowning/template-flask

Install cookiecutter and generate a project:

$ pip install cookiecutter
$ cookiecutter gh:jacebrowning/template-python -f

Cookiecutter will ask you for some basic info (your name, project name, python package name, etc.) and generate a base Python project for you.

If you still need to use legacy Python, older versions of this template are available on a branch:

$ cookiecutter gh:jacebrowning/template-python -f --checkout python2

• Preconfigured setup for Travis-CI, Coveralls, and Scrutinizer
• Makefile for automating common development tasks:
  • Installing dependencies into a virtual environment using pipenv
  • Running tests
  • Running style checkers (pycodestyle/pydocstyle) and linters (pylint)
  • Building documentation
  • Creating and releasing distributions to PyPI

Checkout the appropriate branch of template-python-demo and manually merge changes into your project.
