📖 About The Project

Stop wasting time setting up the same boilerplate code for every project. py_boil takes care of scaffolding your Python application, letting you focus on writing actual business logic.

Features

• 📦 Generate project scaffolds instantly
• ⚡ Ready-to-use templates (from Hello World to package structures)
• 🛠️ Customizable templates planned in future versions
• 🚀 Helps maintain consistency across projects

---

🏗️ Built With

• Python 3.10+
• uv for dependency management and reproducible environments
• bumpver for automated semantic versioning

---

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Python 3.8+ and uv installed:

python3 --version
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Installation

Install dependencies and create a virtual environment with uv:

uv sync

This will:

• Create a .venv/ automatically
• Install dependencies listed in pyproject.toml
• Pin them exactly via a local uv.lock file

Installing Dev Dependencies

To install optional or development packages (like testing or formatting tools):

uv sync --dev

This will install your main dependencies plus all packages listed under [project.optional-dependencies.dev] in your pyproject.toml.

---

📝 Usage

Generate a simple Hello World project:

uv run py_boil new hello-world

Example output (placeholder):

project/
├── main.py
└── README.md

---

🏷 Versioning

py_boil uses bumpver for semantic versioning:

• Patch: bug fixes (0.1.0 → 0.1.1)
• Minor: new backward-compatible features (0.1.1 → 0.2.0)
• Major: breaking changes (0.2.0 → 1.0.0)

Bumping a version

bumpver patch   # 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1
bumpver minor   # 0.1.1 -> 0.2.0
bumpver major   # 0.2.0 -> 1.0.0

This updates the version in both pyproject.toml and src/py_boil/__init__.py and optionally creates a Git commit and tag.

---

🗺️ Roadmap

• Basic Hello World template
• Package scaffold with setup files
• CLI options for customization
• User-defined templates

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
