Quickstart

Install cookiecutter if you haven't installed it yet):

pip install cookiecutter

Generate a Python package project:

cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage.git

Then:

Create a repo and put it there.
Add the repo to your Travis CI account.
Install the dev requirements into a virtualenv. (pip install -r requirements_dev.txt)
Run the script travis_pypi_setup.py to encrypt your PyPI password in Travis config and activate automated deployment on PyPI when you push a new tag to master branch.
Add the repo to your ReadTheDocs account + turn on the ReadTheDocs service hook.
Release your package by pushing a new tag to master.
(Optional) If you feel like pinning the requirements for your package, you can add a requirements.txt that specifies packages and version numbers.

For more details, see the cookiecutter-pypackage tutorial.

tony/cookiecutter-pypackage-pythonic: Fork with py2.7+3.3 optimizations. Flask/Werkzeug-style test runner, _compat module and module/doc conventions. See README.rst or the github comparison view for exhaustive list of additions and modifications.

Fork This / Create Your Own

If you have differences in your preferred setup, I encourage you to fork this to create your own version. Or create your own; it doesn't strictly have to be a fork.

Once you have your own version working, add it to the Similar Cookiecutter Templates list above with a brief description.
It's up to you whether or not to rename your fork/own version. Do whatever you think sounds good.
