Python Project Starter

A script to help create new python projects

This script will:

• Ask for a project name
• Create a new folder
• Create a virtual environment
• Create an empty main.py, __init__.py, and requirements.txt
• Create a LICENSE, README.md, and .gitignore
• Initialize a repository
• Create an initial commit
• Push the project to Github

Installation

Dependencies

• You will need to install Git seperately

From Source

• This currently only works on Windows, although I am currently working on other OS compatibility
• Clone from the repository
• Use pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required packages
• Go into settings.py to change settings
• Create a Github Personal Access Token and paste it into token.key
• Add in your license to templates\LICENSE-template

Shortcuts

In start-shortcut\create_python_project.bat change the directory to where this package is installed. You can then move/copy that shortcut to wherever you'd like.

The Road Ahead

• Add Linux and Mac OS compatibility
• Add docker files
• Add a setup.py
