🚀 PyServInit - Project Bootstrapper

pyservinit is a Python-based utility script for initializing a backend project with a standardized structure. It creates directories, touches empty boilerplate files, and copies template files into a new project folder.

📦 Features

• Creates a structured directory tree for a new project.
• Populates essential files (Dockerfile, docker-compose.yaml, main.py, etc.).
• Loads content from .template files bundled in pyservinit.templates.
• Automatically sets executable permissions for shell scripts.
• Easy to use via command line.

🛠 Usage

python path/to/pyservinit.py <project-name>

Example:

python pyservinit.py my-backend-service

If my-backend-service already exists, the script will abort to prevent overwriting.

📄 Templates

The script relies on templates stored in pyservinit.templates (an importable Python package resource).

Files like these are included:

• Dockerfile.template
• main.py.template
• push.sh.template
• etc.

You can add more .template files to the pyservinit/templates/ directory and either:

• Map them explicitly in DESTINATION_MAP
• Or have them default to src/misc/<template-name> after removing .template

🧩 Dependencies

Ensure pyservinit.templates is installed or accessible as a Python package.

📌 Notes

• It is suitable for backend services in microservice-style architectures or for setting up ML inference services.
• Shell script files (e.g., push.sh) are made executable automatically by the script.
