Pyt2

My second attempt at making a Python template.

Why?

I've seen many other projects like this but I've never seen any of them follow the pattern I want. I highly recommend you Fork This Project for your own needs because many of the defaults (e.g. README structure) are quite opinionated.

✨ Features

• 📂 Package management
  • 🎵 Uses Poetry to manage the project
  • 🎶 Has Poe tasks
• 🎨 Linters (checked via GitHub Actions )
  • ⚫ Black
  • 🐍 MyPy
  • ⚡ Ruff (which includes isort and Pylint and many, many others...)
  • ⚠️ Uses .pre-commit-config.yaml
  • 🐭 Uses .editorconfig
• 🧪 Hypothesis, codecov, and Pytest for testing
• Uses GitHub Actions for CI
  • ✅ Cached workflows
  • 🐍 Tests for Python 3.8+ on 🐧 Linux, 🍎 Mac, and 🏁 Windows.
  • 🔖 Automatically generate and upload distribution files on tagged releases
  • (Optional) 😸 Documentation via Sphinx
• 🖨️ Template usage features
  • ♻️ Pyt2 uses Copier, therefore Pyt2 has template syncing features
  • 🔒 Pre-computed lockfile (poetry.lock) with up-to-date dependencies via CI ()
  • 🔖 Has a test_version.py which will test if the __version__ metadata variable in the package is equal to the one in the pyproject.toml
  • (Optional) 🎬 __main__.py and [tool.poetry.scripts] entry point generation (for applications)

Usage

First, install Copier (preferably using pipx):

pipx install copier

Now you can run this command to create a new folder in the current directory that contains the scaffolded project:

copier copy gh:ThatXliner/pyt2 .

Or for the bleeding-edge version on the master branch:

copier copy gh:ThatXliner/pyt2 . --vcs-ref master

Updating a project

If you have already made a project using this and this template gets a new release, you may update your project by running

copier update

in your project.

FAQ

About the name...

Pronunciation: pit-too Why this is the name: Python Template 2

Why is the default templated license GPL?

Because it's usually better.

But you can fork this and modify the default license in the template anyways. This template, however, is released to the Public Domain.
