Python Project Template

A low dependency and really simple to start project template for Python Projects.

See also

• Flask-Project-Template for a full feature Flask project including database, API, admin interface, etc.
• FastAPI-Project-Template The base to start an openapi project featuring: SQLModel, Typer, FastAPI, JWT Token Auth, Interactive Shell, Management Commands.

HOW TO USE THIS TEMPLATE

1. Choose a name for your project
   (e.g. my_awesome_project recommendation is to use all lowercase and underscores separation for repo names.)
2. Replace all text instances of "python" in this repo with your new name
3. If you want Automatic Release to PyPI
   On the new repository settings->secrets add your PYPI_API_TOKEN (get the tokens on PyPI website)
4. Read the file CONTRIBUTING.md
5. Then clone your new project and happy coding!

Note

: WAIT until first CI run on github actions before cloning your new project.
