Python Application Project Template

Overview

This is a Cookiecutter template for creating a Python application project.

This template departs from the current Python packaging guidelines that discourage the use of a source directory, but moving the package out of the project root provides several advantages (cf. Packaging a Python library).

Template Project Features

• Python 2.7
• MIT License
• pytest tests
• Sphinx documentation
• Virtualenv deployment

Template Application Features

• CLI with subcommands
• Logging
• Hierarchical YAML configuration

Usage

Install Python requirements for using the template:

$ pip install --requirement=requirements.txt --user

Create a new project directly from the template on GitHub:

$ cookiecutter gh:mdklatt/cookiecutter-python-app
