cc-pypackage¶

My custom Cookiecutter template for a Python package.

Features¶

Testing setup with unittest and python setup.py test or pytest (used by default)
Travis-CI: Ready for Travis Continuous Integration testing
Tox testing: Setup to easily test for Python 3.4, 3.5, 3.6
Sphinx docs: Documentation ready for generation with, for example, ReadTheDocs
Bumpversion: Pre-configured version bumping with a single command
Auto-release to PyPI when you push a new tag to master (optional)
Command line interface using Click (optional)

Install the latest Cookiecutter if you haven’t installed it yet (this requires Cookiecutter 1.4.0 or higher):

pip install -U cookiecutter

Generate a Python package project:

cookiecutter https://github.com/robertopreste/cc-pypackage.git

Then:

Create a repo and put it there.
Add the repo to your Travis-CI account.
Install the dev requirements into a virtualenv. (pip install -r requirements_dev.txt)
Register your project with PyPI.
Run the Travis CLI command travis encrypt –add deploy.password to encrypt your PyPI password in Travis config and activate automated deployment on PyPI when you push a new tag to master branch.
Add the repo to your ReadTheDocs account + turn on the ReadTheDocs service hook.
Release your package by pushing a new tag to master.
Add a requirements.txt file that specifies the packages you will need for your project and their versions. For more info see the pip docs for requirements files.
Activate your project on pyup.io.

For more details, see the cc-pypackage tutorial.

This Cookiecutter was adapted for my personal needs from the original Cookiecutter-PyPackage by audreyr.
