gkwa Python Package Scaffold
Use this structure as the starting point for a new Python package. Update the description, dependencies, and dev dependencies based on context.
src/<package>/__init__.py:
def main() -> None:
print("Hello from <package>!")
.python-version:
3.13
pyproject.toml:
[project]
name = "<package>"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "Add your description here"
readme = "README.md"
authors = [
{ name = "Author Name", email = "author@example.com" }
]
requires-python = ">=3.13"
dependencies = []
[project.scripts]
<package> = "<package>:main"
[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"
[tool.ruff]
preview = true
[tool.ruff.lint]
select = ["F", "E", "W"]
extend-select = ["I"]
extend-safe-fixes = ["F401", "F841"]
Show Version
Support --version using importlib.metadata so the version is not duplicated:
import argparse
import importlib.metadata
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="...")
parser.add_argument(
"--version",
action="version",
version=f"%(prog)s {importlib.metadata.version('<package>')}"
)
