Build status Updates Python 3

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)

Quickstart

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.
