wolfsoftware.template-package-importable 0.1.3

A basic package template for importable packages.

Overview

This is the package template that we use internally when creating new python based importable packages. It has all of the basic functionality and workflows needed to create, build and publish new package to PyPI.

This package template does NOT provide any cli functionality but instead is designed for creating importable packages.

We decided to make this available along with our other tools to allow people to use a well engineered starting point when creating their own tools.

We also provide 2 other templates which we use.

• template python project
• template package cli

Features

• Modular Architecture: Organize your code into modules for better maintainability.
• Custom Exceptions: BAsic examples for implementing custom exceptions for specific error handling.
• Testing Examples: Basic examples for writing pytest tests for your package.

Installation

To install the importable package, clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/DevelopersToolbox/template-package-importable.git
cd template-package-importable

It is recommended to use a virtual environment to manage dependencies. You can create and activate a virtual environment using the following commands:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`

Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
