Python Project Template

This is a GitHub template repository for Makefile-driven Python projects. It:

• Has lint, typecheck, clean, and tidy rules, along with all of the venv rules;
• Can be extended to incorporate other languages by adding their tasks to Makefile;
• Uses tags in the form vxx.xx.xx to denote versions;
• Has targets that bump versions for both Semantic Versioning and Calendar Versioning;
• Uses GitHub Actions to build releases and publish them to PyPi automatically when a version tag is pushed;
• Runs lint, typecheck, and test upon push using GitHub Actions;
• Turns on Dependabot for github-actions and pip.
