WIP placeholder (not ready for use): opinionated Copier template for Python projects (pre-beta).

python-foundry Copier Template (Pre-Beta)

WIP / NOT READY FOR USE

This project is a work in progress. It is published as a pre-beta placeholder primarily to reserve the name on PyPI. Do not use it for real projects yet.

An opinionated Copier template for Python projects that bakes in a smooth dev loop: Make for common tasks, Ruff + MyPy for quality, Pytest for tests, Nox for automation, MkDocs for docs, and ready-to-use AI prompt helpers.

Status: pre-beta — interfaces and defaults will change. Expect breaking updates until v0.1.0. Note: This PyPI package (python-foundry) does not provide a runtime Python module.

Highlights

• Copier-first scaffolding with sensible defaults
• uv for fast, reproducible installs and builds
• Ruff + MyPy for fast linting and typing
• Pytest wired for speedy feedback
• Nox sessions to standardize local/CI runs
• MkDocs for documentation out of the box
• Make shortcuts for format, lint, test, docs, release
• AI prompts to guide common maintenance and release tasks

Quick start (template consumers)

Not available yet.

This section will be filled in once the template is usable.

Development (template maintainers)

• Run make fmt then make lint to keep code clean.
• Use nox -s tests for the canonical test suite.
• Build docs locally with make docs-serve (MkDocs live reload).
• When ready for a pre-release, update pyproject.toml metadata and CHANGELOG.md, then publish via make release (to be scripted).

AI prompt helpers

A curated set of prompts will live under docs/ai-prompts/ to speed up fixes, reviews, and releases. These will expand as the template matures.

Status and support

This template is still stabilizing. Please open issues with clear repro steps and share your environment details.
