Python Project Generator
Generates a Python project structure with github actions for continuous integration and continuous deployment. Both pure Python projects and Python projects with Rust modules using PyO3 can be created.
Pure Python project included packages
For package managment choose between:
Dev packages:
- mypy for static type checking
- pytest for testing
- pytest-cov for test coverage reports
- ruff for linting and code formatting
Python project with Rust modules included packages
- maturin for package management
- mypy for static type checking
- pytest for testing
- pytest-cov for test coverage reports
- ruff for linting and code formatting
- PyO3 for managing the Rust/Python FFI
- justfile for running commands (to use this you will need to install just)
Installation
Install with cargo
:
Install on Arch with the AUR:
Install on Debian/Ubuntu:

How to use
Create a new project
From your terminal run:
You will be asked a series of questions that will be used to generate your project. The project
generator will check pypi for the lastest version of the included packages and use those while
generating the project. This feature can be disabled by using with either -s
or
--skip-download-latest-packages
when running the generator. If either there is an issue with
retrieving the latest versions or if you have decided to skip looking up the latest version, the
packages will be be created with default versions.
After running the generator a new directory will be created with the name you used for the
Project Slug
. Change to this directory then install the python packages and pre-commit hooks.
Pure Python Projects
Install the Python dependencies when using Poetry.
Install the Python dependencies when using setuptools.
First create a virtual environment and activate it.
Install the pre-commit hooks.
PyO3 projects
First create a virtual environment and activate it.
Install the dependencies and build the rust module.
Install the pre-commit hooks.
Now your project is ready to use.
Save custom default values
You can specify default values for many of the project options. For example to save a default creator:
