This is a template for a Python module. It is intended to be used as a starting point for creating a new module.

The script init_template.py can be used to initialise the template. It will accept for the name of the module and then rename the template files to match the module name. The list of files and lines to be changed:

• Replace module name in setup.cfg
• Replace description in setup.py
• Replace entire content name in README.md
• Replace copyright in LICENSE
• Git move src/python_module to src/new_module_name
• Git move test/python_module_test.py to test/new_module_name_test.py
• In renamed file test/new_module_name_test.py rename class PythonModuleTest(unittest.TestCase)

Example usage:

python init_template.py new_module_name --module-description "New module description" --author-name "Author Name" --author-email "[email protected]"

The script release_package.py can be used to create the release pipeline of any complexity for the module. It includes the following steps:

• Build, install, reinstall, uninstall and install in developer mode
• Upload release to PyPI
• Upload release to AWS S3
• Create git tag for release
• Publish release on GitHub
• Create Release Notes
• Increment version number in setup.cfg

Example usage:

python release_package.py --mode install --upload-s3 --publish-pypi --create-release --increment-version
