skelly 0.0.6

Generate a project skeleton

Generate a project skeleton so you can start coding right away.

Installation

pip install skelly

Usage

Once installed, skelly can be run as a module:

python -m skelly.main

or as a console application:

skelly

skelly has a plugin architecture where skelly.builders can be registered to create different types of projects. The default builder builds Python projects.

Python Project

Python projects built by the default builder, using its default template, include:

• a venv using the Python installation from which skelly was invoked

• packaging with setuptools configured via setup.cfg

• tooling configured via setup.cfg

  • code formatting with black

  • linting with pylint

  • PEP 8 style checking with pycodestyle

  • strict type checking with mypy

  • unit testing with pytest

  • running all of the above tools with tox

  • building and uploading a distribution with build and twine

• the project package, itself, is pip installed in the venv in editable mode

• an initialized git repo

Prompt the user for values required by the template, then create a project in the current directory.

skelly

Create a project in the directory /tmp/mypkg, without prompting the user because all of the required template values are provided in the command.

skelly \
  -t author "Narvin Singh" \
  -t email "[e-mail]" \
  -t description "A sample project." \
  -t repo "https://gitlab.com/narvin/mypkg" \
  /tmp/mypkg

Only prompt the user for the repo, which is required by the template, then create a project in the current directory.

skelly \
  -t author "Narvin Singh" \
  -t email "[e-mail]" \
  -t description "A sample project."

This command will raise an error because the repo wasn’t specified, and the -s option was used to prevent prompting the user for missing template values.

skelly \
  -s \
  -t author "Narvin Singh" \
  -t email "[e-mail]" \
  -t description "A sample project."

Create a project in /tmp/mypkg with its venv in /tmp/mypkg/.venv310, and install the packages specified in ~/requirements.txt in the venv. The env_dir builder option, unless specified as an absolute path, is relative to the target directory. The req_file builder option, unless specified as an absolute path, is relative to the current directory.

cd ~
skelly \
  -b env_dir .venv310 \
  -b req_file requirements.txt \
  /tmp/mypkg

Create a project in the current directory using a custom template. The user won’t be prompted for any template values.

skelly \
  -T ~/my_template \
  -t my_template_var foo

Other Types of Projects

Coming soon.

If there was a hypothetical builder called javascript, this command would use it to build a project in the current directory.

skelly -B javascript
