Cookiecutter Template for a Flask-based Web Service

What it says on the tin. Should be compatible with both Pythons 2 and 3.

Usage

You'll need an active virtualenv, cookiecutter, and GNU make

# In a virtualenv
cookiecutter https://github.com/afreeorange/template-python-flask-api.git

Then answer some questions, get into the project folder and type make to see a list of project tasks.

What that does

• A basic setuptools configuration to package the project
• Documentation using either Markdown/MkDocs or reStructuredText/Sphinx with a server and live-reloader for easy edits and changes
• Tests using py.test
• Test coverage analysis using coverage.py
• Linting using Flake8
• Easy version-bumping using semantic versioning and bumpversion
• A comprehensive .gitignore (via Github)
• A Makefile that allows me to do many other things :)
