Learn Python 3 the Hard Way: A Very Simple Introduction to the Terrifyingly Beautiful World of Computers and Code

Exercise 46. A Project Skeleton

It will have your project layout, automated tests, modules, and install scripts. When you go to make a new project, just copy this directory to a new name and edit the files to get started.

$ pip3.6 listpip (9.0.1)setuptools (28.8.0)$
