A modern Cookiecutter template for scaffolding Python packages and apps.
See π Conformal Tights for an example of a Python package that is scaffolded with this template. Contributing to this package can be done with a single click by starting a GitHub Codespace or starting a Dev Container.
- π§βπ» Quick and reproducible development environments with VS Code's Dev Containers, PyCharm's Docker Compose interpreter, and GitHub Codespaces
- π Cross-platform support for Linux, macOS (Apple silicon and Intel), and Windows
- π Modern shell prompt with Starship
- π¦ Packaging and dependency management with Poetry
- π Installing from and publishing to private package repositories and PyPI
- β‘οΈ Task running with Poe the Poet
- βοΈ Code formatting with Ruff
- β Code linting with Pre-commit, Mypy, and Ruff
- π· Optionally follows the Conventional Commits standard to automate Semantic Versioning and Keep A Changelog with Commitizen
- π Verified commits with GPG
- β»οΈ Continuous integration with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD
- π§ͺ Test coverage with Coverage.py
- π Scaffolding updates with Cookiecutter and Cruft
- π§° Dependency updates with Dependabot
To create a new Python project with this template:
-
Install the latest Cruft and Cookiecutter in your Python environment with:
pip install --upgrade "cruft>=2.12.0" "cookiecutter>=2.1.1"
-
Create a new repository for your Python project, then clone it locally.
-
Run the following command in the parent directory of the cloned repository to apply the Poetry Cookiecutter template:
cruft create -f https://github.com/superlinear-ai/poetry-cookiecutter
β οΈ If your repository name β the project's slugified nameIf your repository name differs from your project's slugified name (see
project_name
in the Template parameters below), you will need to copy the scaffolded project into the repository with:cp -r {project-name}/ {repository-name}/
To update your Python project to the latest template version:
-
Update the project while verifying the existing template parameters and setting any new parameters, if there are any:
cruft update --cookiecutter-input
-
If any of the file updates failed, resolve them by inspecting the corresponding
.rej
files.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
package_name "Spline Reticulator" |
The name of the package. Will be slugified to snake_case for importing and kebab-case for installing. For example, My Package will be my_package for importing and my-package for installing. |
package_description "A Python package that reticulates splines." |
A single-line description of the package. |
package_url "https://github.com/user/spline-reticulator" |
The URL to the package's repository. |
author_name "John Smith" |
The full name of the primary author of the package. |
author_email "[email protected]" |
The email address of the primary author of the package. |
python_version "3.8" |
The minimum Python version that the package requires. |
docker_image "python:$PYTHON_VERSION-slim" |
The base Docker image to use for the Dev Container and application. The $PYTHON_VERSION build argument is equal to the python_version value by default, but may be overridden when building the image to test different Python versions. If CUDA support is required, you may use radixai/python-gpu:$PYTHON_VERSION-cuda11.8. |
with_zscaler_cert ["0", "1"] |
Include the ZScaler CA Root Certificate in the devcontainer. |
development_environment ["simple", "strict"] |
Whether to configure the development environment with a focus on simplicity or with a focus on strictness. In strict mode, additional Ruff rules are added, and tools such as Mypy and Pytest are set to strict mode. |
with_conventional_commits ["0", "1"] |
If "1", Commitizen will verify that your commits follow the Conventional Commits standard. In return, cz bump may be used to automate Semantic Versioning and Keep A Changelog. |
with_fastapi_api ["0", "1"] |
If "1", FastAPI is added as a run time dependency, FastAPI API stubs and tests are added, a poe api command for serving the API is added, and an app stage that packages the API is added to the Dockerfile. Additionally, the CI workflow will push the application as a Docker image instead of publishing the Python package. |
with_pydantic_typing ["0", "1"] |
If "1", Pydantic is added as a run time dependency, and the Pydantic mypy plugin is enabled and configured. |
with_sentry_logging ["0", "1"] |
If "1", Sentry is added as a run time dependency, and a Sentry configuration stub and tests are added. |
with_streamlit_app ["0", "1"] |
If "1", Streamlit is added as a run time dependency, a Streamlit application stub is added, a poe app command to serve the Streamlit app is added, and an app stage that packages the Streamlit app is added to the Dockerfile. Additionally, the CI workflow will push the application as a Docker image instead of publishing the Python package. |
with_typer_cli ["0", "1"] |
If "1", Typer is added as a run time dependency, Typer CLI stubs and tests are added, the package itself is registered as a CLI, and an app stage is added to the Dockerfile that packages the CLI. |
continuous_integration ["GitHub", "GitLab"] |
Whether to include a GitHub Actions or a GitLab CI/CD continuous integration workflow for testing and publishing the package or app. |
docstring_style ["NumPy", "Google"] |
Whether to use and validate NumPy-style or Google-style docstrings. |
private_package_repository_name "Private Package Repository" |
Optional name of a private package repository to install packages from and publish this package to. |
private_package_repository_url "https://pypi.example.com/simple" |
Optional URL of a private package repository to install packages from and publish this package to. Make sure to include the /simple suffix. For instance, when using a GitLab Package Registry this value should be of the form https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/ {project_id} /packages/pypi/simple . |
