Introduction

This project is a skeleton for any new project. It contains:

• a source folder: src
• a unit test folder: _unittests, go to this folder and run run_unittests.py
• a _doc folder: _doc, it will contains the documentation
• a file setup.py to build and to install the module

All theses steps were only tested on Windows. Suppot for linux will be added later. To create your own project, you need to rename the folder tracking in src by your true module name. You also need to replace tracking wherever it is found:

• project_var_name = 'tracking' in setup.py, make_help.py and _doc/sphinxdoc/source/conf.py
• from src.tracking.subproject.myexample import myclass in _unittests/ut_example/test_example.py
• many places in _doc/sphinxdoc/source/index.rst
• many places in README.rst

The project is also hosted here where you can find a link to the generated documentation based on this template.

Automation

• Generating the setup with pyquickhelper
• Generating the documention with pyquickhelper
• Installation
• Unit tests with pyquickhelper

Adding a new module or subpackage

Any new module or subpackage should be added in src/tracking. Every subfolder should contain a file __init__.py. If the new file needs an existing submodule, you need to add something like the following:

import os,sys

from ..subproject.myexample import myclass

You should use relative imports as much as possible. To add a module at deeper level than the previous one, you should add relative imports in every __init__.py along the way.
