👋 Hello! This is my cookiecutter template for python packages. It's going to be a moving target and be adopted to how I like to write python packages.
This is an early release, made for me to keep track of things. So expect it to break. If you plan to rely on this package let me know. I will then accommodate your use case and tag the repo. If there are any questions open an issue, and I'll do my best to help!
Currently, I am the only consumer of this cookiecutter. That means of course that all the decisions made in here are opinionated. That being said, please feel free to open issues or discussions if you think something could be improved or if it would be nice if it would be supported.
Options would have been setuptools_scm, versioneer and bumpversion. I
prefer setuptools_scm. It integrates nicely with the default setuptools
install and it's maintained by pypa, so at least it'll be supported for a
reasonable timeframe.
Tests are run via pytest. Could have also gone for plain unittest but I
prefer pytest's fixture model.
Two requirements to consider for dependency management. We could only rely
on pipenv to allow creating environments reproducibly, but since most of
the tooling I create requires loads of binary dependencies, I mainly rely on
conda. More specifically on conda-devenv to make everything a bit
simpler to configure. I still provide dependency requirements in setup.cfg
for direct installation via pip.
