Quick reference

My workflow

This is what my workflow looks like:

• Write software using Poetry to manage dependencies
• Write tests using Pytest
• Package the project to tarball and/or wheel using Poetry
• Use Tox to automatically run the tests in isolated environment(s)
• Distribute the package with an installer script
• Double-click the executable created by the installation script to run the application!

Optional extras

There are some optional steps that can be useful:

• Single-source and automatically increment the version number
• Automatically generate documentation using pdoc
• Perform all testing and packaging using GitHub Actions or Jenkins

Sounds good, is there a template project that does all this stuff?

Yes! Check out cookiecutter-snoap.

Other stuff

I've also written up things I tried but didn't ultimately use and things I'd like to try.
