How would you use this template in a monorepo (of Python projects)?

I have good experience with JavaScript monorepos.

Has anyone any experience with multiple autonomous projects in the same repo?

So to answer your question directly, you could do something like this https://discuss.python.org/t/multiple-related-programs-one-pyproject-toml-or-multiple-projects/17427/2. So you could use the cookieninja template to make one and then move src into project1/src, then cp -r project1/src project2/src etc.

However, particularly if you're going to be pushing to PyPI etc. then I would probably recommend one package per repo. Just to keep things simple.

Another question is whether they are actually separate packages or modules. One package can have multiple modules, which are technically separate. For example, you may have seen

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

So here we are using the pyplot module. But matplotlib has other modules as can be seen here https://matplotlib.org/stable/py-modindex.html

Thank you! This looks like a good way to go.

It is for an internal project (tentatively). That project used to have 43 (!) repositories, when we were handed it over; now we have three python repositories that we work with with some light interdependencies in between them.

I was exploring the idea having a single repository for all three, where we could have the privilege of safely sharing some code (e.g. getting a configuration setting or some data classes, fixtures/mocks, or connecting to the shared database). I haven't talked to the rest of the team yet, before I knew there were no big red flags.
