This is my template for creating new Python packages. It uses cookiecutter to create a skeleton of a Python package, so that I don't have to copy and paste a bunch of files when starting a new package.
If you want to use this template, first you'll need to install cookiecutter with conda:
conda install -c conda-forge cookiecutter
or pip:
pip install cookiecutter
To create a new Python package run:
cookiecutter gh:wfondrie/cookiecutter-python-package
