pyscaffoldext-dsproject

PyScaffold extension tailored for Data Science projects. This extension is inspired by cookiecutter-data-science and enhanced in many ways. The main differences are that it

1. advocates a proper Python package structure that can be shipped and distributed,
2. uses a conda environment instead of something virtualenv-based and is thus more suitable for data science projects,
3. more default configurations for Sphinx, py.test, pre-commit, etc. to foster clean coding and best practices.

Also consider using dvc to version control and share your data within your team.

The final directory structure looks like:

├── AUTHORS.rst             <- List of developers and maintainers.
├── CHANGELOG.rst           <- Changelog to keep track of new features and fixes.
├── LICENSE.txt             <- License as chosen on the command-line.
├── README.md               <- The top-level README for developers.
├── configs                 <- Directory for configurations of model & application.
├── data
│   ├── external            <- Data from third party sources.
│   ├── interim             <- Intermediate data that has been transformed.
│   ├── processed           <- The final, canonical data sets for modeling.
│   └── raw                 <- The original, immutable data dump.
├── docs                    <- Directory for Sphinx documentation in rst or md.
├── environment.yaml        <- The conda environment file for reproducibility.
├── models                  <- Trained and serialized models, model predictions,
│                              or model summaries.
├── notebooks               <- Jupyter notebooks. Naming convention is a number (for
│                              ordering), the creator's initials and a description,
│                              e.g. `1.0-fw-initial-data-exploration`.
├── references              <- Data dictionaries, manuals, and all other materials.
├── reports                 <- Generated analysis as HTML, PDF, LaTeX, etc.
│   └── figures             <- Generated plots and figures for reports.
├── scripts                 <- Analysis and production scripts which import the
│                              actual PYTHON_PKG, e.g. train_model.
├── setup.cfg               <- Declarative configuration of your project.
├── setup.py                <- Make this project pip installable with `pip install -e`
│                              or `python setup.py develop`.
├── src
│   └── PYTHON_PKG          <- Actual Python package where the main functionality goes.
├── tests                   <- Unit tests which can be run with `py.test` or
│                              `python setup.py test`.
├── .coveragerc             <- Configuration for coverage reports of unit tests.
├── .isort.cfg              <- Configuration for git hook that sorts imports.
└── .pre-commit-config.yaml <- Configuration of pre-commit git hooks.

See a demonstration of the initial project structure under dsproject-demo and also check out the the documentation of PyScaffold for more information.

Usage

Just install this package with pip install pyscaffoldext-dsproject and note that putup -h shows a new option --dsproject. Creating a data science project is then as easy as:

putup --dsproject my_ds_project

Note

This project has been set up using PyScaffold 3.2. For details and usage information on PyScaffold see https://pyscaffold.org/.
