Professional Python Project Initializer with uv, ml/dl support, and embedded config.

Project description

🐍 ViperX

Professional Python Project Initializer The modern, snake-fast way to bootstrap Python projects.

ViperX is a CLI tool designed to generate production-ready Python projects instantly. It leverages uv for blazing fast dependency management and offers specialized templates for Machine Learning (ml) and Deep Learning (dl).

✨ Features

  • Blazing Fast: Built on top of uv.
  • Pre-configured: pyproject.toml, proper src layout, ruff ready.
  • ML/DL First: Templates with torch, tensorflow, kagglehub and Smart Caching.
  • Smart Caching: Auto-downloads and caches datasets to ~/.cache/viperx/data (or local data/).
  • Strict Isolation: Environment variables (.env) isolated in src/<pkg>/ for better security.
  • Config-in-Package: Solves the "Colab/Kaggle doesn't see my config" problem.
  • Platform Agnostic: Works on Local, VSCode, Colab, and Kaggle.
  • Safe Mode: Never overwrites or deletes files automatically—reports changes for manual action.

📦 Installation

Recommended (Global Tool)

pipx install viperx

Alternative (uv)

uv tool install viperx

🚀 Quick Start

# Classic Package
viperx config -n my-lib

# Machine Learning Project
viperx config -n churn-prediction -t ml --env

# Deep Learning Project (PyTorch)
viperx config -n deep-vision -t dl -f pytorch

# Declarative Config (Infrastructure as Code)
viperx config get                   # Generate template
viperx config -c viperx.yaml        # Apply config

💻 CLI Reference

config - Main Command

viperx config [OPTIONS]

Options:

Flag Description Default
-n, --name Project name (Required) -
-t, --type classic, ml, dl classic
-d, --description Project description -
-a, --author Author name git user
-l, --license MIT, Apache-2.0, GPLv3 MIT
-b, --builder uv, hatch uv
-f, --framework pytorch, tensorflow (DL only) pytorch
--env / --no-env Generate .env file --no-env
-c, --config Path to viperx.yaml -

config get - Generate Template

viperx config get

Creates a viperx.yaml template in current directory.

config update - Rebuild from Codebase

viperx config update

Scans the existing project and updates viperx.yaml to match reality:

  • Detects packages in src/
  • Detects use_config, use_env, use_tests from actual files
  • Adds annotations for any mismatches

package - Workspace Management

# Add package
viperx package add -n worker-api -t classic

# Delete package
viperx package delete -n worker-api

# Update dependencies
viperx package update -n worker-api

📝 Declarative Config (viperx.yaml)

project:
  name: "my-project"
  description: "A cool project"
  author: "Your Name"
  license: "MIT"
  builder: "uv"

settings:
  type: "classic"          # classic | ml | dl
  use_env: false
  use_config: true
  use_tests: true

workspace:
  packages:
    - name: "api"
      type: "classic"
    - name: "ml-core"
      type: "ml"
      use_env: true

🔒 Safe Mode Philosophy

ViperX follows a non-destructive approach:

Action Behavior
Add ✅ Creates new files/packages
Update ⚠️ Reports changes, user decides
Delete ❌ Never deletes—warns user
Overwrite ❌ Never overwrites existing files

🧪 Test Coverage

uv run pytest src/viperx/tests
# 46 tests | 76% coverage

Test Structure:

  • unit/ - Validation (5 tests)
  • functional/ - CLI, licenses, project types, updates (18 tests)
  • scenarios/ - Classic, workspace, type blocking, config scanner (18 tests)
  • integration/ - E2E lifecycle (5 tests)
