Tool for easily putting up the scaffold of a Python project
Project description
PyScaffold helps you to easily setup a new Python project, it is as easy as:
putup my_project
This will create a new subdirectory my_project and serve you a project setup with git repository, setup.py, document and test folder ready for some serious coding.
Type putup -h to learn about more configuration options. PyScaffold assumes that you have Git installed and set up on your PC, meaning at least your name and email configured. The scaffold of my_project provides you with following features:
Packaging
Run python setup.py sdist, python setup.py bdist or python setup.py bdist_wheel to build a source, binary or wheel distribution.
Complete Git Integration
Your project is already an initialised Git repository and setup.py uses the information of tags to infer the version of your project with the help of versioneer. To use this feature you need to tag with the format vMAJOR.MINOR[.REVISION] , e.g. v0.0.1 or v0.1. The prefix v is needed! Run python setup.py version to retrieve the current PEP440-compliant version. This version will be used when building a package and is also accessible through my_project.__version__. The version will be unknown until you have added a first tag.
Unleash the power of Git by using its pre-commit hooks. This feature is available through the --with-pre-commit flag. After your project’s scaffold was generated, make sure pre-commit is installed, e.g. pip install pre-commit, then just run pre-commit install.
Sphinx Documentation
Build the documentation with python setup.py docs and run doctests with python setup.py doctest. Start editing the file docs/index.rst to extend the documentation. The documentation also works with Read the Docs.
Unittest & Coverage
Run python setup.py test to run all unittests defined in the subfolder tests with the help of py.test. The py.test plugin pytest-cov is used to automatically generate a coverage report. For usage with a continuous integration software JUnit and Coverage XML output can be activated. Checkout putup -h for details. Use the flag --with-travis to generate templates of the Travis configuration files .travis.yml and tests/travis_install.sh which even features the coverage and stats system Coveralls.
Requirements Management
Add the requirements of your project to the requirements.txt file which will be automatically used by setup.py.
Licenses
All licenses from choosealicense.com can be easily selected with the help of the --license flag.
Django
Create a Django project with the flag --with-django which is equivalent to django-admin.py startproject my_project enhanced by PyScaffold’s features.
Easy Updating
Keep your project’s scaffold up-to-date by applying putput --update my_project when a new version of PyScaffold was released. It may also be used to change the url, license and description setting. An update will only overwrite files that are not often altered by users like setup.py, versioneer.py etc. To update all files use --update --force. An existing project that was not setup with PyScaffold can be converted with putup --force existing_project. The force option is completely save to use since the git repository of the existing project is not touched!
