🌹 The Hatchlor 🌹 Cookiecutter Template

Details
Features

The Hatchlor is a cookiecutter template featuring the modern and extensible Python project manager hatch 🐣.

With hatch, you no longer need to deal with files like requirements.txt, Pipfile or environment.yml, just configure everything in pyproject.toml. Thus, hatch is a sophisticated alternative to pipenv, poetry, conda, or direct virtualenv usage. Just think of hatch as a tool that allows you to easily define many isolated development environments, e.g. virtual but also docker environments, and helps you to manage them. A bit like what tox does for testing environments but for all kinds of environments, e.g. testing, linting your code, buildings your docs, and whatever you want.

Check out a vanilla Python project created by the Hatchlor.

✨ Features

The Hatchlor integrates the following features:

• hatch: Python packaging, environment management and test runner,
• hatch-vcs: determine the package version automatically from git tags, e.g. v0.9,
• hatch-pip-compile: support for lock-files,
• pyproject.toml: all package, build and tool configuration in one file,
• pytest: full-featured Python testing tool that helps you write better programs,
• coverage: tool for measuring code coverage of Python programs with pytest integration,
• GitHub Actions: workflows with dependabot, release-drafter, labeler, build docs, test & publish to PyPI,
• ruff: extremely fast Python linter/formatter, which replaces isort, flake8, black, etc.,
• mypy: optional static type checker for Python,
• mkdocs: a fast, simple and downright gorgeous static site generator,
• pre-commit: pre-commit git hooks that make your life easier,
• Markdown: instead of reStructuredText, Markdown is used consistently for all text files,
• EditorConfig: maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers,
• src-layout: the actual Python package is kept under a src folder avoiding many common errors.

The template includes a skeleton.py with a simple function fib that calculates the Fibonacci numbers as demonstration. This is tested with tests/test_skeleton.py to demonstrate the corresponding features from above. As an additional tidbit, skeleton.py also features Typer to show how fib can be exposed as a CLI command. These files are only for demonstration and can be safely deleted.
