Project Setup Cookiecutter

I came across (in the python bytes podcast) this cookiecutter template to setup projects that implements, in code, the choices made in this blog series about project setup and maintenance to achieve a pretty high level of project maturity.

This blog does a good job at

• Saying what the problem is, and why we should care
• Talks about existing solutions
• The associated package then (supposedly) helps us automate these boilerplate setup tasks (which all our project tooling packages were meant to do).

Had I known cookiecutter itself or know/been_able_to_use some of the projects these blog posts mention, we might not have had developed our own answers to the problem in the form of wads, epythet and isee.

If (or when) we embark on any significant extension or maintenance of such project tooling packages, we should have a peep at this stuff.
