cookiecutter-pypackage provides an amazing framework to develop a Python package with. The original version (https://github.com/audreyfeldroy/cookiecutter-pypackage) has been further extended by many contributors to include useful tools such as poetry and pre-commit.
I decided to start using one of the newer versions of cookiecutter-pypackage (https://github.com/waynerv/cookiecutter-pypackage) (v1.1.1) before running into an error in one of the GitHub Actions workflows. mindsers/changelog-reader-action@v2 failed to recognise the correct version number due to incorrect CHANGELOG format.
While fixing the bug and working through the structure of cookiecutter-pypackage, I decided to overhaul the entire project which leads to the forking and the creation of my own version of cookiecutter-pypackage (https://github.com/cheeyeelim/cookiecutter-pypackage) (v1.1.2).
This version of cookiecutter-pypackage has the following key updates :
- Fixed bug mentioned above due to incorrect
CHANGELOGformat (changed to follow https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/ standard)
- Added
miketo provide versioning support for documentation created usingmkdocs - Added
tox-condato providecondasupport when usingtox - Improved testing by checking full cookiecutter project creation
Once all these updates were implemented, then only I remember my original intention to use cookiecutter-pypackage was to create a low-code Natural Language Processing (NLP) library to perform exploratory data analytics. But at least now I got it working and tailored to my needs, so I finally get to create JustNLP (https://github.com/cheeyeelim/justnlp) using cookiecutter-pypackage!
