This is a simple python project template to help standardise structure, without become too complex.

• conda / anaconda
• git + GitHub
• pytest
• sphinx + napoleon

1. Clone the template repo:

   git clone https://github.com/samwisehawkins/project.git

2. Change the name of the project and the conda python environment

   mv project myproject 
   vi myproject/environment.yml  --> change environment name to match
   

3. Change the package name, exit python modules etc. Generally adapt the project to your needs.

4. Edit setup.py to reflect name changes

5. Remove git history and re-initialise

   cd myproject 
   rm -rf .git 
   git init
   

6. Create a virtual environment with the same name as the project

   cd myproject 
   conda env create -f environment.yml 
   source activate myproject
   

7. Install your package into new virtual environment, using develop so it is symbolically linked to source code

   python setup.py develop
   

8. Run tests

   pytest
   

9. Create documentation structure (use /doc subdirectory as target)

   sphinx-quickstart
   

10. Edit doc/index.rst to auto-include modules and members:

    vi doc/index.rst
    .. automodule:: package.module
       :members:
    

11. Build the docs

    cd doc
    make html
    

12. Package and publish (coming soon).
