Generate New Python Package Project

The most common way to generate a new Python Package Project (in the current working directory),

is to invoke the cookiecutter cli (while supplying the necessary initial information when prompted)

and provide this Template as input.

Open a console (ie terminal) and run:

# Get Template
git clone git@github.com/boromir674/cookiecutter-python-package.git

# Install cookiecutter if you haven't
python -m pip3 install cookiecutter

# Generate a new Python Package Project locally
cookiecutter cookiecutter-python-package/src/cookiecutter_python

Installation

Cookiecutter Python Package is available directly as source code on github, but also being a Python Package Generator/Template,

available on pypi too.

Get Code from Github

git clone git@github.com:boromir674/cookiecutter-python-package.git

Install PyPI package (in current environment)

python3 -m pip install cookiecutter-python
