My personal template for Python projects.

• uv dependency management and an uv_build package backend
• A generated pyproject.toml with package metadata, dependency groups, project links, and tool configuration
• just recipes for environment setup, checks, tests, coverage, formatting, builds, and documentation
• Code quality checks with ruff, pyrefly, Codespell, Rattle, and pre-commit
• pytest and coverage, with local tests across the selected Python version range
• GitHub Actions workflows for linting, tests, and PyPI publishing
• GitHub repository creation through GitHub CLI
• Read the Docs setup using Sphinx, Furo, MyST, and generated API documentation
• Destination-aware defaults using prior answers, Git configuration, and the detected GitHub identity
• README badges and license selection using choosealicense.com text

• Python 3.12+
• sprout
• Git
• GitHub CLI (optional)

Create a project directly:

sprout new "https://github.com/zigai/python-project-template.git" /path/to/your/project

Or add the template for reuse:

sprout add zigai/python-project-template --name python
sprout new python /path/to/your/project
