Python Package Skeleton

PyPI GitHub Actions

Package skeleton for a Python module.

Description

Bootstrap a new Python package in less than a minute.

Features

Bootstrapping a New Project

  1. Create an empty (non-initialized) repository on GitHub.

  2. Clone the main branch of this repository with

    $ git clone --single-branch https://github.com/makenew/pypackage.git new-pypackage
    $ cd new-pypackage
    

    Optionally, reset to the latest release with

    $ git reset --hard <version-tag>
    
  3. Run

    $ ./makenew.sh
    

    This will replace the boilerplate, delete itself, remove the git remote, remove upstream tags, and stage changes for commit.

  4. Create the required GitHub repository secrets

  5. Review, commit, and push the changes to GitHub with

    $ git diff --cached
    $ git commit -m "Replace makenew boilerplate"
    $ git remote add origin [email protected]:<user>/<new-pypackage>.git
    $ git push -u origin main
    
  6. Ensure the GitHub action passes, then publish the initial version of the package with

    $ poetry install
    $ poetry version patch
    $ make version
    

Updating

If you want to pull in future updates from this skeleton, you can fetch and merge in changes from this repository.

Add this as a new remote with

$ git remote rename origin upstream

and then configure your origin branch as normal.

Otherwise, add this as a new remote with

$ git remote add upstream [email protected]:makenew/pypackage.git

You can then fetch and merge changes with

$ git fetch --no-tags upstream
$ git merge upstream/main

Changelog

Note that CHANGELOG.md is just a template for this skeleton. The actual changes for this project are documented in the commit history and summarized under Releases.

Installation

This package is registered on the Python Package Index (PyPI) as makenew-pypackage.

Install it with

$ poetry add makenew-pypackage

Development and Testing

Quickstart

$ git clone https://github.com/makenew/pypackage.git
$ cd pypackage
$ poetry install

Run each command below in a separate terminal window:

$ make watch

Primary development tasks are defined in the Makefile.

Source Code

The source code is hosted on GitHub. Clone the project with

$ git clone https://github.com/makenew/pypackage.git

Requirements

You will need Python 3 and Poetry.

Install the development dependencies with

$ poetry install

Tests

Lint code with

$ make lint

Run tests with

$ make test

Run tests on changes with

$ make watch

Publishing

New versions are created with poetry version.

Automatic

New versions are released automatically with semantic-release as long as commits follow the Angular Commit Message Conventions.

Manual

Publish a new version by triggering a version workflow_dispatch on GitHub Actions. The version input will be passed as the first argument to poetry version.

This may be done on the web or using the GitHub CLI with

$ gh workflow run version.yml --raw-field version=<version>

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions should already be configured: this section is for reference only.

The following repository secrets must be set on GitHub Actions.

  • PYPI_API_TOKEN: API token for publishing on PyPI.

These must be set manually.

Secrets for Optional GitHub Actions

The version, format, generate, and semantic-release GitHub actions require a user with write access to the repository including access to read and write packages. Set these additional secrets to enable the action:

  • GH_TOKEN: A personal access token for the user.
  • GIT_USER_NAME: The name to set for Git commits.
  • GIT_USER_EMAIL: The email to set for Git commits.
  • GPG_PRIVATE_KEY: The GPG private key.
  • GPG_PASSPHRASE: The GPG key passphrase.

Contributing

Please submit and comment on bug reports and feature requests.

To submit a patch:

  1. Fork it (https://github.com/makenew/pypackage/fork).
  2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature).
  3. Make changes.
  4. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature').
  5. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature).
