# Python Boilerplate
A comprehensive starter template for Python projects, designed to help you get up and running quickly with a well-organized folder structure and essential configuration files. This boilerplate includes setup for managing dependencies, structuring your code, writing tests, and maintaining documentation.
## Features
- **Structured Directory Layout**: Organized folder structure to keep your project clean and maintainable.
- **Dependency Management**: `requirements.txt` for easy package installation.
- **Setup Script**: `setup.py` for packaging and distributing your project.
- **Version Control**: `.gitignore` to exclude unnecessary files from version control.
- **Data Directory**: Placeholder directories for raw data and processed data.
- **Documentation**: Starter files for project documentation.
- **Source Code Organization**: Separate folders for main application code and modules.
- **Testing**: Boilerplate for unit tests.
