Todo:

• add a test that we can run cookiecutter, install, run tests, run towncrier, docs work (maybe run the travis script?)
• switch to pytest-trio

cookiecutter-trio

This is a cookiecutter template for Python projects that use Trio. It makes it easy to start a new project, by providing a bunch of preconfigured boilerplate for:

• pytest with trio integration
• sphinx docs with sphinxcontrib-trio enabled
• Readthedocs to publish your docs
• Travis and Appveyor to test your package on all the different platforms Trio supports: Windows + MacOS + Linux, CPython + PyPy
• Codecov to track code coverage information
• towncrier for easy release note management
• black so you don't have to think about formatting

This is just an optional starting point – you don't have to use it, and if you do use it, then all it does is generate a bunch of boilerplate, so once it's done you're free to customize everything to your liking. But, this is the same basic setup used to develop Trio itself and many related projects, so the closer you stick to the template the easier it will be for new contributors to hit the ground running.

Let's do this!

1. pip install -U cookiecutter (or check out the detailed cookiecutter install instructions)
2. cookiecutter gh:python-trio/cookiecutter-trio
3. Answer the questions. This will create a directory named after your project (e.g., if you said your project is called superwhizbang, then there will be a directory called superwhizbang/).
4. Look through {your project}/CHEATSHEET.rst for a checklist of things to think about and tips on how to do basic things like running tests.
