Perfect Python Project Template

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.

Features

• 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 and pre-push events
• Linting based on ruff, blue, mypy and others
• Tests based on pytest

Instructions

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
