The Newpy package allows you to generate a boilerplate for your Python project. Newpy is created with structure and maintainability in mind by providing a clear folder structure and automatic virtual environment generation.
The following command creates a project folder called "my-project" in the current directory, generates the virtual environment and configures the virtualenv usage in Visual Studio Code.
