Package Helper 3

Package Helper 3 helps to create, develop and maintain a Python package.

It is a fork/mix of https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage/, https://github.com/francois-durand/package_helper_2/, and https://github.com/fpgmaas/cookiecutter-poetry.

The most prominent feature of Package Helper 3 is a tutorial that gives a checklist of how to:

• Create your package in a few minutes with Cookiecutter and UV,
• Develop and maintain your package with PyCharm,
• Host your package on GitHub and leverage GitHub actions,
• Publish your package on PyPi,
• Publicly share your coverage on Codecov.
• Archive your source code on Software Heritage for long-term preservation.

A simple Command-Line Interface initiates the creation of the package using a template of Python package. Here are the main features of the template:

• Default options that can be personalized.

• Include example files for classes, with examples of documentation and testing.

• Use UV for all-in-one management of dependencies and settings.

• Documentation:

  • Use GitHub actions and GitHub Pages to publish the documentation.
  • Use sphinx.ext.napoleon to benefit from NumPy style of documentation.
  • Use PyData theme.
  • Add a "reference" section in the documentation of the package.

• Use GitHub actions to perform unit tests.

• Use GitHub actions to deploy the package on PyPI.

• Generate a local html page displaying the test coverage.

• Use Codecov for getting a public badge of your test coverage.
