This documents a manual conversion of a python-project-template to a namespace project.

Looks like the version of copier has been updated to 8.0.0 (at the time of writing this, it happened 12 hours ago). Here's a list of the changes: https://github.com/copier-org/copier/releases/tag/v8.0.0

It seems like we need to change the command that we're using to generate the projects.

In particular line 85 of ci.yml looks like it needs to be changed from this:
copier --vcs-ref HEAD --defaults ${{ matrix.copier_config.extra_flags }} copy ./ ../test/${{ matrix.copier_config.foldername }}
to this:
copier copy ./ ../test/${{ matrix.copier_config.foldername }} --vcs-ref HEAD --defaults ${{ matrix.copier_config.extra_flags }}

The difference being that the copy subcommand comes before flags. At least that's what I'm getting from the release notes without actually trying it on the command line.
