A simple Cookiecutter template to quickly bootstrap a new python project

Features

• Always up-to-date dependencies with the help of dependabot
• Python 3.6+
• Testing using pytest
• Uses pip-tools for dependency management
• Continuous Integration options: Gitlab CI or Circle CI
• Pre-commit hooks via pre-commit.
• Conventional commits courtesy of the Commitizen tool, which is also useful for:
  • Bumping versions automatically using semantic versioning based on the commits
  • Generating a changelog using Keep a changelog
• Code formatting using black
• Linting using flake8
• Choice of various licenses
• Optional CLI using Click or argparse
• Generates a simple VSCode settings.json (Just change the python.pythonPath)

Getting started

Ensure that you have cookiecutter installed on your computer:

pip install -U cookiecutter

Bootstrap your new python project:

cookiecutter https://github.com/engineervix/cookiecutter-pyproject.git

You'll be prompted for some values, such as project_name, project_slug, email, license, etc.

Once you're done, cd into your the new project folder created above, and you're ready to roll :sunglasses:!

Other steps

• Create a virtual environment for your project
• Install project dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
• pre-commit install
• pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
• add any additional requirements in the requirements.in file, then
  • pip-compile requirements.in to generate an updated requirements.txt file
  • pip-sync to update your virtual environment to reflect exactly what's in the requirements.txt file.

It goes without saying that you'll want to create a repo for your new project. If you're using Circle CI, ensure that you add your repo to your CircleCI account. Optionally register your repo with dependabot, requires.io, coveralls, codeclimate and deepsource (Don't forget to add the Code Climate, Coveralls and Deepsource Environment Variables to your Project's Settings in your CircleCI Dashboard). If you don't want to use any of these services

• remove them (coveralls, codeclimate and deepsource) from the CircleCI configuration file
• remove the respective badges in your project's README.md file

Tests

Simply run pytest. For more detailed output, including test coverage:

pytest -vv --cov-config=.coveragerc --cov=. --cov-report term-missing

FAQs

• Why create another python Cookiecutter when there's already so many excellent ones (like the ones above)?

I agree that there are several excellent python project cookiecutters out there. In fact, I wouldn't have written this version without the others (especially the ones in the Credits section above)! I am already used to a particular workflow, and I wanted a Cookiecutter that mirrors my workflow. None of the existing Cookiecutters were an exact fit, so I decided to write my own!

TODO

• Add other CI options: Github Actions, AppVeyor and perhaps Travis CI
• Add packaging options
• Include options for coveralls, codeclimate and deepsource in Gitlab CI.
• Working with dependabot on Gitlab
• Makefile to automate some boring tasks and encapsulate long commands
