## What it is
A Cookiecutter template that scaffolds a modern Python package with best-practice tooling: Poetry, Nox, pre-commit, Flake8, GitHub Actions CI, and Sphinx documentation. It is based on the Hypermodern Python article series and automates PyPI publishing.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new python package with modern tooling
- set up poetry and nox for a python project
- bootstrap a python library with ci and docs
- python project template with pre-commit and flake8
- start an open source python package ready for pypi

## When to choose
- starting a new Python package and wanting batteries-included tooling
- you want Poetry, Nox, pre-commit, and GitHub Actions wired up from day one
- you want Sphinx docs and automated PyPI publishing configured out of the box

## When to avoid
- you use pip/setuptools or uv instead of Poetry
- you need a template for applications or services rather than installable packages
- you want a minimal scaffold without opinionated tooling
