New Python Project

New Python project

Set up a clean Python project so the user can start coding immediately.

Inputs

Ask only if not given: the project name and where to create it (default: a Projects or Code folder under the user's home, or the current working directory).

Steps

1. create_directory <location>/<name>.
2. write_file these into the project:
   • README.md — # <name> + a one-line placeholder.
   • .gitignore — Python defaults: .venv/, __pycache__/, *.pyc, .env, dist/, build/, *.egg-info/.
   • requirements.txt — empty (or the deps the user named).
   • main.py — def main():\n ...\n\n\nif __name__ == "__main__":\n main()
3. run_command in the project dir: create the venv — python -m venv .venv.
4. run_command: git init (only if git is available; if not, skip and mention it).
5. If the user named dependencies, write them to requirements.txt and run_command the venv pip install (.venv\Scripts\python -m pip install -r requirements.txt).
6. Report the path and the exact command to activate the venv (.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 on PowerShell).

Don't

• Don't overwrite an existing folder of the same name — if it exists, ask first.
• Don't install heavy deps the user didn't ask for.
• Keep it minimal; this is a starting point, not a framework.
