Boilerplate for a Python Package

Package

Basic structure of package is

├── README.md
├── package
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── package.py
│   └── version.py
├── pytest.ini
├── requirements.txt
├── setup.py
└── tests
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── helpers
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   └── my_helper.py
    ├── tests_helper.py
    └── unit
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── test_example.py
        └── test_version.py

Requirements

Package requirements are handled using pip. To install them do

pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup

To set up your package, ensure you have the necessary files and directories as shown in the package structure above. Specifically, you'll need:

• README.md: This file.
• package/: Directory containing your package's main code.
• tests/: Directory containing your tests.

Setup Commands

1. Install the package:

   pip install .
   

2. Install the package in editable mode (for development):

   pip install -e .
   

3. Upload to PyPI:

   python setup.py sdist
   twine upload dist/*
   

Tests

Testing is set up using pytest and coverage is handled with the pytest-cov plugin.

Running Tests

Run your tests with:

pytest

in the root directory.

Coverage

Coverage is run by default and is set in the pytest.ini file. To see an HTML output of coverage, open htmlcov/index.html after running the tests.

Continuous Integration

GitHub Actions (Optional)

If you prefer GitHub Actions for CI, you can set it up with a .github/workflows/ci.yml file. Here’s a basic example:

name: Deploy Python Package

on:
  push:
    branches: [ "master" ]

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Checkout repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Set up Python
      uses: actions/setup-python@v2
      with:
        python-version: 3.8

    - name: Install dependencies
      run: |
        python -m venv venv
        source venv/bin/activate
        pip install -r requirements.txt
        pip install bump2version twine wheel

    - name: Bump version
      id: bumpversion
      run: |
        source venv/bin/activate
        git config --global user.email "[e-mail]"
        git config --global user.name "Runners"
        bump2version patch --allow-dirty
        git push --follow-tags

    - name: Build package
      run: |
        source venv/bin/activate
        python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

    - name: Deploy package
      run: |
        source venv/bin/activate
        twine upload --verbose dist/*
      env:
        TWINE_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.PYPI_USERNAME }}
        TWINE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PYPI_PASSWORD }}

This will set up CI for multiple Python versions and upload the coverage report to Codecov.

License

Specify your package's license. For example:

MIT License

Contribution Guidelines

If you want others to contribute to your package, add contribution guidelines. For example:

• Fork the repository.
• Create a new branch (git checkout -b feature-foo).
• Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add feature foo').
• Push to the branch (git push origin feature-foo).
• Create a new Pull Request.

Feel free to customize this boilerplate according to your specific needs.
