Install the latest Cookiecutter if you haven't installed it yet (this requires Cookiecutter 1.4.0 or higher):
pip install -U cookiecutter
Generate a Python package project:
cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage.git
Then:
- Create a repo and put it there.
- Add the repo to your Travis-CI account.
- Install the dev requirements into a virtualenv. (
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
) - Register your project with PyPI.
- Run the Travis CLI command travis encrypt --add deploy.password to encrypt your PyPI password in Travis config and activate automated deployment on PyPI when you push a new tag to master branch.
- Add the repo to your ReadTheDocs account + turn on the ReadTheDocs service hook.
- Release your package by pushing a new tag to master.
- Add a requirements.txt file that specifies the packages you will need for your project and their versions. For more info see the pip docs for requirements files.
- Activate your project on pyup.io.
For more details, see the cookiecutter-pypackage tutorial.
Don't worry, you have options:
- Nekroze/cookiecutter-pypackage: A fork of this with a PyTest test runner, strict flake8 checking with Travis/Tox, and some docs and setup.py differences.
- tony/cookiecutter-pypackage-pythonic: Fork with py2.7+3.3 optimizations.
Flask/Werkzeug-style test runner,
_compat
module and module/doc conventions. SeeREADME.rst
or the github comparison view for exhaustive list of additions and modifications. - ardydedase/cookiecutter-pypackage: A fork with separate requirements files rather than a requirements list in the
setup.py
file. - lgiordani/cookiecutter-pypackage: A fork of Cookiecutter that uses Punch instead of bump2version and with separate requirements files.
- briggySmalls/cookiecutter-pypackage: A fork using Pipenv for package management, with linting, formatting and more.

If you have differences in your preferred setup, I encourage you to fork this to create your own version. Or create your own; it doesn't strictly have to be a fork.
- Once you have your own version working, add it to the Similar Cookiecutter Templates list above with a brief description.
- It's up to you whether or not to rename your fork/own version. Do whatever you think sounds good.
I also accept pull requests on this, if they're small, atomic, and if they make my own packaging experience better.
