Description

I wanted to create a python package with cookiecutter. I filled in all the blanks in the interview on startup. Then I got an error. Then I tried again, this time only using the default values. Still the same error.

What I Did

cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyfeldroy/cookiecutter-pypackage.git

Here is the error message:

Unable to create file 'Makefile'
Error message: 'collections.OrderedDict object' has no attribute 'use_black'

Here is the output including the error message:

I am getting the same error when running it with pipx run cookiecutter gh:audreyfeldroy/cookiecutter-pypackage On windows 10.

I had the same issue on my WSL2 env and found a solution. Patch ~/.cookiecutters/cookiecutter-pypackage/cookiecutter.json
