This project template creates the basic structure for a Python project. The article How to Set up a Perfect Python Project describes all the design decisions used here.
- Python 3.10+ (configurable)
- Poetry based dependency management
- Development tasks registered in a
Makefile
for easy access and management - Custom Mercurial/Git hooks for
pre-commit
andpre-push
events - Linting based on ruff, blue, mypy and others
- Tests based on pytest
To instantiate the template into a new project, you'll need cookiecutter. The best way to use it just once is through pipx:
$ pipx run cookiecutter gh:andredias/perfect_python_project
If you prefer, use can install it throught pip instead:
$ pip install --user cookiecutter
Next, run the following command:
$ cookiecutter gh:andredias/perfect_python_project
