I'm not so much interested here, but I often wonder if there is an easy way to build this infrastructure into a package - like a template that one could "just start with" that includes easy documentation, etc.

So here's a concrete way to frame it: is https://github.com/scientific-python/cookie sufficient? If it's lacking anything, what is it lacking?

+1 From the Pythia8 side of things packaging is often times taken care of for us by external interested parties. I would very much like to learn about things we can do help facilitate packaging.

At FCC we combine analyzer functions written in C++ for the RDataFrame with Python scripting around it. The FCCAnalyses is distributed through Spack package and GitHub repo. I would like to investigate distribution possibilities which keep door open for heavy user customizations.
