Template for creating privacy plugins for the metasyn library. If you want to create new distributions instead, use the metasyn-distribution template. Follow these steps to create a new plugin from this template:

• Install cookiecutter: pip install cookiecutter on the command line.
• Use the template: cookiecutter https://github.com/sodascience/metasyn-privacy-template

The template is now ready to use. To finish your plugin, edit the following modules:

• metasyncontrib.{plugin_name}.privacy: If you are writing a new privacy plugin, edit the __init__ and to_dict methods. Otherwise delete this file.
• metasyncontrib.{plugin_name}.base: Change the privacy class variable if necessary.
• metasyncontrib.{plugin_name}.categorical/continuous/datetime/string/discrete: Implement distributions here.
• metasyncontrib.{plugin_name}.provider: Add the newly implemented distributions.

Your plugin should now be ready to go. GitHub actions is part of the template, so after pushing your new plugin to GitHub it should automatically start testing your code.
