Generator Python CLI

A copier generator for creating cli tools with python.

USAGE

Install the dependencies: poetry install

Run the tests: poetry run task test Note: the tests are run taking into account non-committed files as well as committed files.

Generate a project: poetry run task copier <path_of_new_project> Note: when generating a project, only committed files are taken into account, so I need to create dev branches and commit there to try out my changes.

REMARKS

I use the internal _folder_name, which is set to the basename of the destination passed when generating the template, as the project name.

UPDATE PYTHON VERSION IN GENERATED PROJECTS

I just have to change the python version in template/pyproject.toml.tmpl.

TODO

• use the latest version of python automatically (maybe looking at https://github.com/pawamoy/copier-poetry)
• add more tools (mypy, pylint)
• install pre-commit in the project automatically
• if prompted, create a project of the same name (but with "-" instead of "−") on my github, push to it
• install the package in development mode using sudo pip install -e . or the equivalent setuptools command
• fix the ptw notifications icons so that it may work for other people as well (try to include an svg directly somehow)
• update to python 3.10 (and document the process to update both this project dependencies and the created project dependencies as well)
  • I cannot update to python 3.10 in my copier pyproject.toml, because it is not supported by copier 5.1
