Layra

Modern Python project boilerplate generator with intelligent defaults.

Layra eliminates the repitive setup process for new Python projects by providing modern, opinionated boilerplates with best practices built-in. Stop wasting time configuring the same tools over and over — focus on building amazing software instead.

✨ Why Layra?

The problem: Every new Python project requires the same tedious setup:

• Configuring linters and formatters (ruff, black, mypy)
• Setting up pre-commit hooks
• Creating proper project structure
• Writing CI/CD pipelines
• Configuring testing frameworks
• Managing dependencies and virtual environments

Layra's approach:

• 🚀 Interactive CLI with smart prompts and sensible defaults
• 🛠️ Modern tooling built-in (ruff, uv, pytest, GitHub Actions)
• 📋 Multiple profiles for different project types
• 🔄 Future-ready with planned update and customization features

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install layra

Create your first project

# Configure Layra

# Create a web API project
layra new my-api --profile web-fastapi
