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
