Multiple use cases for financial applications
To structure repo like this:
Creating a well-structured repository for a Python project named "finance" involves organizing your code, documentation, and other project-related files in a systematic and maintainable manner. Here's a suggested structure for your "finance" project:
finance/
|-- finance/ # The main Python package
| |-- __init__.py # Package initialization
| |-- core.py # Core functionality
| |-- data.py # Data handling and processing
| |-- calculations.py # Financial calculations
| |-- visualizations.py # Plotting and visualization functions
|
|-- tests/ # Unit tests for your code
| |-- test_core.py
| |-- test_data.py
| |-- test_calculations.py
| |-- test_visualizations.py
|
|-- docs/ # Documentation for your project
| |-- index.md # Main documentation file
| |-- user_guide.md # User guide or usage instructions
| |-- api_reference.md # API reference
|
|-- examples/ # Example usage of your package
| |-- example1.py
| |-- example2.py
|
|-- requirements.txt # Dependencies for your project
|-- LICENSE # License file (e.g., MIT, Apache)
|-- README.md # Project's README
|-- setup.py # Package installation script
|-- .gitignore # Git ignore file
|-- .gitattributes # Git attributes file (if needed)
|-- .travis.yml # Travis CI configuration (or other CI tools)
|-- .editorconfig # Editor configuration (optional)
|-- .dockerignore # Docker ignore file (if using Docker)
|-- .github/ # GitHub-specific files (actions, issue templates, etc.)
|
|-- data/ # Data files used in the project (if applicable)
|
|-- notebooks/ # Jupyter notebooks (if you're using them for analysis)
|
|-- scripts/ # Utility scripts (e.g., data scraping, ETL)
|
|-- outputs/ # Output files or results generated by the project
This structure follows common best practices for Python projects. You should adjust it based on the specific needs of your "finance" project. Don't forget to include a comprehensive README file explaining how to install and use your package.
Remember to use version control (e.g., Git) to track changes to your project, and consider using a platform like GitHub for hosting and collaborating on your project. This will make it easier for others to find, use, and contribute to your "finance" project.
