A modern Cookiecutter template for scaffolding Python packages and apps.
See My Package for an example of a Python package and app that is scaffolded with this template.
Starting development in My Package can be done with a single click by opening My Package in GitHub Codespaces, or opening My Package in a Dev Container.
- ๐งโ๐ป Quick and reproducible development environments with VS Code's Dev Containers, PyCharm's Docker Compose interpreter, and GitHub Codespaces
- ๐ Cross-platform support for Linux, macOS (Apple silicon and Intel), and Windows
- ๐ Modern shell prompt with Starship
- ๐ฆ Packaging and dependency management with Poetry
- ๐ Installing from and publishing to private package repositories and PyPI
- โก๏ธ Task running with Poe the Poet
- โ๏ธ Code formatting with Black and Ruff
- โ Code linting with Pre-commit, Mypy, and Ruff
- ๐ท Optionally follows the Conventional Commits standard to automate Semantic Versioning and Keep A Changelog with Commitizen
- ๐ Verified commits with GPG
- โป๏ธ Continuous integration with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD
- ๐งช Test coverage with Coverage.py
- ๐ Scaffolding updates with Cookiecutter and Cruft
- ๐งฐ Dependency updates with Dependabot
To create a new Python project with this template:
- Install the latest Cruft and Cookiecutter in your Python environment with:
pip install --upgrade cruft>=2.12.0 cookiecutter>=2.1.1
- Create a new repository and clone it locally.
- In the directory that contains the cloned repository, run:
cruft create -f https://github.com/radix-ai/poetry-cookiecutter
- Optional: if your repository name differs from your project's slugified name, you will need to copy the scaffolded project into the repository with:
cp -r {package-name}/ {repository-name}/
To update your Python project with the latest template:
- Run
cruft update
to update your project with the latest template. - If any of the updates failed, resolve them by inspecting the generated
.rej
files.
