PyScaffold is a Python project generator that bootstraps high-quality, PyPI-ready package templates via the `putup` command. It bundles best-practice configuration for packaging, Git integration, versioning, testing, documentation, and CI out of the box.
Use cases
- scaffold a new python package
- generate a pypi-ready project template
- bootstrap a python library with git and CI configured
- set up setuptools packaging with versioning from git tags
- create a python project with tox and sphinx preconfigured
- avoid writing setup.py boilerplate by hand
When to choose
- starting a new Python package and wanting batteries-included best practices
- you want Git-based versioning (setuptools-scm), tests, docs, and CI wired up automatically
- you prefer declarative setup.cfg configuration and PEP 517/518-compliant builds
- you want generated projects to be fully independent of the generator
When to avoid
- you already use a different scaffolder like cookiecutter or Poetry's project layout
- you need a non-Python project template
- you want full manual control over every config file from the start
- you need a web app framework generator rather than a package skeleton
