Quickstart
Install cookiecutter if you haven't installed it yet):
pip install cookiecutter
Generate a Python package project:
cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-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
) - Run the script travis_pypi_setup.py 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.
- (Optional) If you feel like pinning the requirements for your package, you can add a requirements.txt that specifies packages and version numbers.

- Nekroze/cookiecutter-pypackage: A fork of this with a PyTest test runner, strict flake8 checking with Travis/Tox, and some docs and setup.py differences.
- tony/cookiecutter-pypackage-pythonic: Fork with py2.7+3.3 optimizations.
Flask/Werkzeug-style test runner,
_compat
module and module/doc conventions. SeeREADME.rst
or the github comparison view for exhaustive list of additions and modifications. - ardydedase/cookiecutter-pypackage: A fork with separate requirements files rather than a requirements list in the

Fork This / Create Your Own
If you have differences in your preferred setup, I encourage you to fork this to create your own version. Or create your own; it doesn't strictly have to be a fork.
- Once you have your own version working, add it to the Similar Cookiecutter Templates list above with a brief description.
- It's up to you whether or not to rename your fork/own version. Do whatever you think sounds good.

I also accept pull requests on this, if they're small, atomic, and if they make my own packaging experience better.
