A boilerplate python project that implements a CLI, logging, settings and file-based configuration loading.

• Enter virtual environment with pipenv shell
• Install dependencies by running pipenv install
• Run tool with python main.py
• 😎 That's it!

• All configuration for the program will go in config/.
  • config.json is the default configuration file.
• app/
  • __init__.py contains 3 important methods:
    • init(args) is the initial configuration stage of the program.
    • load_config(args) is the configuration file loading stage.
    • process(args, config) is the main logic of the program.
  • logging.py defines specialized logging helper definitions.
  • settings.py defines program operating settings.
• config/ contains program JSON configuration files.
• tests/ contains tests for the project (pytest).
• logs/ contains program logs (debug, error, default).
• main.py is the main entry point of the program.

You can define your own schema as you see fit. Just make sure to adjust the DEFAULT_CONFIG in app/settings.py.

• -h, --help prints command and syntax help for the program.
• -v, --verbose enables verbose output.
• -c, --config point to a non-default configuration file.
• --version prints program version information.
