Snek is a project generator for bootstrapping Python packages,
ready to be shared on PyPI_ and installable via pip_.

Snek was forked from PyScaffold to remove the file advertisements and streamline
it. It's just a template generator. Use it if you want.

Quickstart
==========

Just pick your favourite installation method::

    pip install snekpy

After the installation, a new ``snek`` command will be available and you can just type::

    snek my_project

This will create a new folder called ``my_project`` containing a perfect
*project template* with everything you need for some serious coding.

After ``cd``-ing into your new project and creating (or activating) an
isolated development environment (with virtualenv_, conda_ or your preferred
tool), you can do the usual editable install::

    pip install -e .

We also recommend using tox_, so you can take advantage of the automation tasks
we have setup for you, like::

   tox -e build  # to build your package distribution
   tox -e publish  # to test your project uploads correctly in test.pypi.org
   tox -e publish -- --repository pypi  # to release your package to PyPI
   tox -av  # to list all the tasks available

Configuration & Packaging
=========================

All configuration can be done in ``setup.cfg`` like changing the description,
URL, classifiers, installation requirements and so on as defined by
setuptools_. That means in most cases it is not necessary to tamper with
``setup.py``.

In order to build a source or wheel distribution, just run ``tox -e build`` (if
you don't use tox_, you can also install ``build`` and run ``python -m
build``).

.. rubric:: Package and Files Data

Additional data, e.g. images and text files, that reside within your package
and are tracked by Git will automatically be included if ``include_package_data
= True`` in ``setup.cfg``. It is not necessary to have a ``MANIFEST.in`` file
for this to work.

Note that the ``include_package_data`` option in ``setup.cfg`` is only
guaranteed to be read when creating a `wheels`_ distribution. Other
distribution methods might behave unexpectedly (e.g. always including data
files even when ``include_package_data = False``). Therefore, the best option
if you want to have data files in your repository **but not as part of the pip
installable package** is to add them somewhere **outside** the ``src``
directory (e.g. a ``files`` directory in the root of the project, or inside
``tests`` if you use them for checks). Additionally you can exclude them
explicitly via the ``[options.packages.find] exclude`` option in ``setup.cfg``.


Versioning and Git Integration
==============================

Your project is an already initialised Git repository and uses the information
of tags to infer the version of your project with the help of setuptools_scm_.
To use this feature, you need to tag with the format ``MAJOR.MINOR[.PATCH]`` ,
e.g. ``0.0.1`` or ``0.1``. This version will be used when building a package
and is also accessible through ``my_project.__version__``.

Unleash the power of Git by using its `pre-commit hooks`_. This feature is
available through the ``--pre-commit`` flag. After your project's scaffold was
generated, make sure pre-commit is installed, e.g. ``pip install pre-commit``,
then just run ``pre-commit install``.

A default ``.gitignore`` file is also provided; it is
well adjusted for Python projects and the most common tools.


Sphinx Documentation
====================

Snek will prepare a `docs` directory with all you need to start writing
your documentation.
Start editing the file ``docs/index.rst`` to extend the documentation.
The documentation also works with `Read the Docs`_.

The `Numpy and Google style docstrings`_ are activated by default.

If you have `tox`_ in your system, simply run ``tox -e docs`` or ``tox -e
doctests`` to compile the docs or run the doctests.

Alternatively, if you have `make`_ and `Sphinx`_ installed in your computer,
build the documentation with ``make -C docs html`` and run doctests with ``make
-C docs doctest``. Just make sure Sphinx 1.3 or above is installed.


Tests & Coverage
================

Snek relies on `pytest`_ to run all automated tests defined in the subfolder
``tests``.  Some sane default flags for pytest are already defined in the
``[tool:pytest]`` section of ``setup.cfg``. The pytest plugin `pytest-cov`_ is
used to automatically generate a coverage report. It is also possible to
provide additional parameters and flags on the commandline, e.g., type::

    pytest -h

to show the help of pytest (requires `pytest`_ to be installed in your system
or virtualenv).

Projects generated with Snek by default support running tests via `tox`_,
a virtualenv management and test tool, which is very handy. If you run::

    tox

in the root of your project, `tox`_ will download its dependencies, build the
package, install it in a virtualenv and run the tests using `pytest`_, so you
are sure everything is properly tested.

Management of Requirements & Licenses
=====================================

Installation requirements of your project can be defined inside ``setup.cfg``,
e.g. ``install_requires = numpy; scipy``. To avoid package dependency problems
it is common to not pin installation requirements to any specific version,
although minimum versions, e.g. ``sphinx>=1.3``, and/or maximum versions, e.g.
``pandas<0.12``, are used frequently in accordance with `semantic versioning`_.

All licenses from `choosealicense.com`_ can be easily selected with the help
of the ``--license`` flag.
