Question

I’m looking for the correct way to prototype, initiate a Python project.

• PasteScript has not been updated to Python 3.
• Skeleton is available fror 3.1 but has not been maintained for the last two years.
• Step by Step Guide gives information to manually create the structure of a project for packaging.
• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Packaging

Is there any new candidate for starting a project and populating all the files necessary for the project?

Answer 1

Not exactly what I was looking for but it will do the job.

• A Project Skeleton
• Another project skeleton to download on Github.
• How to Package your Python Code

Adding new information

• Cookiecutter seems exactly what it requires to initialize and start a project. See a blog posts explaining it.
• Cookiecutter for libraries
