pyprefab 0.5.8

Python application template for personal use

pyprefab

A template-driven command line interface (CLI) that creates the scaffolding for a fully-functional, modern Python package. The goal of pyprefab is to get you straight to writing application code by handling project startup tasks like logging setup and creating a test harness.

The scaffolding includes:

• package files in the src layout format
• pyproject.toml with dependency groups
• CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, .gitignore, and README.md
• automated package versioning with setuptools-scm
• structlog-based pre-configured logging
• a pytest-based test harness
• a pre-commit configuration with common plugins like ruff for linting (optional)
• GitHub workflow that automatically runs code checks, tests, and a test coverage report
• GitHub workflow for publishing the package to PyPI

Quickstart

If you have uv installed, uv tool run is the fastest way to create a new Python package with pyprefab:

uvx pyprefab

Otherwise, use pip or pipx to install pyprefab:

python -m pip install pyprefab

python -m pyprefab

Project setup

See CONTRIBUTING.MD for information on setting up a local development environment for pyprefab.
