modernapp

This package allows to quickly initialise new Python package using bleeding edge tools like linters, just run:

• pip install modernapp
• modernapp <your-package-name> # or $ mp <your-package-name>

Now you are able to:

• cd <your-package-name>
• make check # To run tests and linters
• make publish # To publish your new package to PyPi.org to make it accessable to everyone

Add Git remote repository (first create this project on Gitlab) to be able to push changes:

• git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:<your-username>/<your-package-name>.git
• git push

Development

Commonly used commands for package development:

• make check - run unit tests and linters.
• make fix - format code and fix detected fixable issues.
• make publish - publishes current package version to pypi.org.
• make compile - bump and freeze dependency versions in requirements*.txt files
• make sync - upgrade installed dependencies in Virtual Environment (executed after make compile)

Toolset

This package uses these cutting edge tools:

• ruff - for linting and code formatting
• mypy - for type checking
• pip-audit - for known vulnerability detection in dependencies
• deadcode - for unused code detection
• pytest - for collecting and running unit tests
• coverage - for code coverage by unit tests
• hatch - for publishing package to pypi.org
• uv - for Python virtual environment and dependency management
• pyproject.toml - configuration file for all tools
• Makefile - aliases for commonly used command line commands

Feature requests:

• Newly installed package could have virtualenv initialised.

• Check if git is available before trying to initialise the repository.

• remove init Makefile alias and cli.py command python files.

• make a cli command: this package should be installable. Ideally this flow should work:

  • pip install modernapp
  • modernapp mynewpackage
  • cd mynewpackage && make check && make publish

• Add pre-commit hooks with all the tools enabled.

• codspeed.io could be considered for Continuous integration pipeline

• Provide Python version for modernapp CLI command.

• Add modernapp abreviation CLI alias not to type so much

• make compile and make sync does not work when virtual environment is activated

• enable async test execution by default:

  • "pytest-asyncio", [tool.pytest.ini_options] addopts = "--cov=. --no-cov-on-fail --cov-fail-under=90.0" +asyncio_mode = "auto"

• Clean up the /main.py file after initialization: that logic is overwhelming.

• Clean up README and descriptions in pyproject.toml and /init.py.

• Package should display proper messages when internet connection or git is not available. Now it crashes without internet connection with this Traceback:

• --django --fastapi or other options to add some kind of dependencies and initial project stub to get started with those projects easily.
• Should create package tags during publishing. Each version should a commit tagged in main branch.
