|Python compat| |GHA tests|

A template to quickly get you creating an open-source python library
or project with linting, static analysis, CI, and CD to PyPI.

Usage
=====

To use this template, click the green "Use this template" button in the github web interface.
Then run:

.. code-block:: bash

git clone YOUR_REPO
# then cd into your local repo, and run:
./bootstrap

And follow the on-screen prompts. ``bootstrap`` uses some git data (like detecting your username and repository name), so cloning the repo generated from the template is necessary.

General sanity checks and best practices are performed on provided responses. To disable these, run with the ``--no-verify`` flag:

.. code-block:: bash

./bootstrap --no-verify

Compatibility
=============

This template's ``bootstrap`` functionality only works on MacOS/Linux/WSL, it *will not work natively on windows*.
The resulting project, however, may be windows-compatible.

Features
========

* Features dependent if project is a library or a standalone project.

* `Poetry`_ support.

* If not installed, Poetry will automatically be installed when running ``bootstrap``.

* `Poetry Dynamic Versioning`_ - Dynamically handles your project version based on git tags.

* Optional command line interface boilerplate using Cyclopts_.

* Optional C binding support via Cython.

* `Sphinx`_ + `ReadTheDocs`_.

* To setup, goto `ReadTheDocs Dashboard`_ and click on "Import a Project".

* To locally build the docs:

.. code-block:: console

cd docs/
make html

This results in html files in ``docs/build/html/``.
Double click ``docs/build/html/index.html`` to view the docs in your web browser.

* `Pre-commit`_ linting and static analysis. The following hooks are pre-configured and will automatically run on ``git commit``:

* `Ruff `_ - An extremely fast Python linter and formatter.

* `Creosote `_ - Identifies unused dependencies.

* `Codespell `_ - Checks code and documentation for common misspellings.

* `Pyright `_ - Static type checker.

* `Docker`_ support for standalone projects.

* GitHub Actions for:

* Running ``pre-commit`` on pull requests and commits to ``main``.

* Running unit tests, coverage, and verify docs build on pull requests and commits to ``main``.

* Goto your `Codecov Dashboard`_ and add your repo.

* Build and upload wheels to PyPI on semver tags ``vX.Y.Z``.

* Add your `PyPI API token`_ to your `GitHub secrets`_ for key ``PYPI_TOKEN``.

* If using Cython, pre-built binary packages will be created for all major operating systems, python versions, and computer architectures.

* Build and upload docker images to Dockerhub.

* Add your Dockerhub username and `token`_ to your `GitHub secrets`_
``DOCKERHUB_USERNAME`` and ``DOCKERHUB_TOKEN``.

* Optionally, modify the ``tags`` field in ``.github/workflows/docker.yaml``.
By default, it assumes your docker username is the same as your github username.

Cython
======
This template has an option to add boilerplate for Cython_.
Cython is a programming language that simplifies the creation of C extensions for Python.
The `Cython documentation is quite good `_; the aim of this section is to explain what this
template sets up, and what actions will still need to be performed by you.
This explanation assumes you are familiar with C.
Replace any reference here to ``pythontemplate`` with your project name.

1. Place all C and header files in the ``pythontemplate/_c_src`` directory.
If you don't plan on using any explicit C files, you may delete this directory.

2. Update ``pythontemplate/cpythontemplate.pxd`` with header information from the files in (1).
Example of common definitions (functions, structs, and enums) are provided.
Think of ``*.pxd`` as a header file that allows Cython ``.pyx`` code to access pure C ``.c`` files.
This file will be compiled into a package of the same name that can be imported in a ``.pyx`` file via ``cimport``.
If you don't plan on using any explicit C files, you may delete this file and the ``_c_src`` directory.

3. Add Cython code to ``pythontemplate/_c_extension.pyx``. Some class starter code is provided.
This is where a good pythonic interface (functions and classes) should be written.

4. If adding type hints, update ``pythontemplate/_c_extension.pyi`` to reflect your ``.pyx`` implementation.

5. Optionally tweak ``build.py`` (runs at setup/installation) with compiler options.
The default ``build.py`` offers a good, working starting point for most projects and performs the following:

a. Recursively searches for all C files in ``pythontemplate/_c_src/``.
To change this action, modify the variable ``c_files``.

b. Compiles the code defined in ``_c_extension.pyx`` into a shared object file.

c. Adds ``pythontemplate`` and ``pythontemplate/_c_src`` to the Include Path (python variable ``include_dirs``).

d. If your codebase contains a slower, python implementation of your Cython code,
we can allow building to fail by uncommenting the ``allowed_to_fail`` logic at the top.
The logic checks for the environment variable ``CIBUILDWHEEL`` because we don't want to allow
build failures in our CI when creating pre-built wheels that we upload to PyPI.

6. The Github Action workflow defined in ``.github/workflows/build_wheels.yaml`` will create pre-built
binaries for all major Python versions, operating systems, and computer architectures.
It will also create a Source Distribution (sdist).
All of these distributions will be uploaded to the github action job page.
On git semver tags (``vX.X.X``), they will be uploaded to PyPI.

When developing, you must re-run ``poetry-install`` to re-compile changes made in C/Cython code.
The resulting, built Cython code will be importable from ``pythontemplate._c_extension``, so it may be
good to add something like the following to your ``pythontemplate/__init__.py``:

.. code-block:: python

__all__ = [
"Foo",
]
from pythontemplate._c_extension import Foo
