Generate a Python package project:

cookiecutter https://github.com/pymetrics/cookiecutter-python-library.git

Then:

• Create a repo and put it there.
• Add the repo to your Travis-CI account.
• Install the dev requirements into a virtualenv. (pip install -r requirements_dev.txt)
• Register your project with PyPI. * Run twine upload dist/*.
• For an open source project, create a PyPI API token, with scope limited to the project, for publishing.
• Set PyPI credentials in TravisCI environment variables PYPI_USERNAME and PYPI_PASSWORD. * If using an API token, set PYPI_USERNAME to __token__.
• Add the repo to your Read the Docs account + turn on the Read the Docs service hook.
• Release your package by pushing a new tag to master.
• Add a requirements.txt file that specifies the packages you will need for your project and their versions. For more info see the pip docs for requirements files.
