CherryCutter
A minimal cookiecutter template for a minimal framework, CherryPy.
Cherrypy is amazing and very tiny; in fact, it's really, really tiny. I often find myself writing the same boilerplate code over and over, using the same modules, and building the same structure.
Enter cookiecutter!
This is an opinionated template that inclues PeeWee, Jinja2, and CherryPy for bootstraping a small site or a microservice. If you'd like to use Cherrypy and this template without them, feel free to fork and customize away :)
Requirements
You will need cookiecutter installed to use this template
pip install cookiecutter
In addition, the requirements.txt file only works with Python3. You may need different versions if you need Python 2.7 support (why haven't you migrated yet?).

cookiecutter gh:madelyneriksen/cookiecutter-cherrycutter

pip install -r requirements.txt
