This repository contains code for a project that includes a command-line interface with a project structure that follows best practice for Python projects. The config file (pyproject.toml) shows the minimal information necessary to define a command-line tool where the build is controlled using flit. It also includes example configuration for dependencies, code-style tools (black, isort) and setting pytest options.

Edit pyproject.toml file to fit your project.

If you want the command-line interface, edit section project.scripts (line 31). (If you don't want it, just delete that section.)

The src/myproject/cli.py presents an example of a command line application that uses SciTrack for logging, and click for specifying the interface.

Once you have edited this toml (making sure you've added it and any others you need into your project repository), you can do a "developer" install as

$ flit install -s --python `which python`

When it's correctly installed, you can run the following

$ myproject demo-echo "blah blah"
blah blah

where the output will be blue.

I've included a test file that uses the click test runner. I have also included a noxfile.py

In the top-level directory, the following commands will run the tests

$ pytest

or

$ nox -s test-3.10

which will also generate a xml formatted coverage report. This is useful within a GitHub action for upload to codecov.

I have also included a nox subcommand for producing a code coverage report.

$ nox -s testcov

Which will produce a coverage report in html format in the top level directory.
