cookietemple VS cookiecutter

For structure, project setup and getting an idea of how to "style" a project by following best practices, you could take a look at https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple. (Disclaimer: I'm one of its authors).

It really depends on how you plan to use your projects: Is it for personal use only? Do you want to use it as a cli application or a standalone package or just some loose script collection? If you want to get an idea of how to structure bigger projects, I recommend you to take a look at https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple. (Disclaimer: I'm one of its developers). The cli-python template there should give you a good idea of how a project could actually look like.

In 2020, we did the first release of cookietemple (PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/cookietemple/, GitHub: https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple).

The c++ template of https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple might be useful to you.

If you're willing to write a cookiecutter version it would be awesome to have it in https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple

You could create a project with https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple and attempt to understand the structure.

Consider taking a look at cookiecutter to generate projects from templates. There is also cookiecutter-django. As for your environment variables you should have an example .env file containing all the environment variables required by your project (without setting them) that can be safely pushed into your repository for you and other developers to copy into the actual .env file that'll be used by your project (add this file to .gitignore)

The Python Cookiecutter library revolutionizes project development by offering streamlined approach to creating template projects and improving developer experience.
