The primary focus of this cookiecutter is a cross-platform (gnu/mingw32) Makefile. Apart from that, this cookiecutter is designed to be flexible and doesn't provide any library boilerplate. The Makefile itself is designed to be extensible; the cross-platform Makefile utilities have been extracted for reuse and modularity.
module_name
Name of the module. Should be a valid Python identifier. Per PEP8, module names should be short, all lowercase, and the use of underscores is discouraged.full_name
Full name of the project author.runnable
Should be yes if the project has a main entry point.version
Initial version of the project.python_version
The best supported Python version for the project. A minor version may be included in the version string, but further specifying a micro version is not recommended.open_source_license
If your favorite license isn't listed, create a PR.
/.gitignore
Very minimal by default, depending on your project you will probably want to add to it./Makefile
Additional make commands can of course be added here. The cookiecutter currently does not include any testing facilities, so the Makefile must be edited appropriately. A placeholder recipe exists for this purpose./setup.py
Dependencies should be defined here./requirements/core.pip
Any specific information about the dependencies, such as versions and urls, should be defined here./module_name/__main__.py
If your project is runnable, the main entry point should be defined here.
