Python Starter

Automatically configures formatter and linter when initializing Python projects.

Workflow

  1. Environment Detection and Selection

- Use UV if uv.lock file exists or uv command is available - Use Poetry if [tool.poetry] section exists in pyproject.toml - If no environment is configured, recommend uv - Otherwise use venv - Ask the user if uncertain

  1. Install ruff

- Install ruff as dev dependency based on selected environment - Use commands (avoid writing code directly) - Reference: [environment-setup.md](references/environment-setup.md)

  1. Configure pyproject.toml

- Create pyproject.toml if it doesn't exist - Add ruff configuration (see [pyproject-toml-examples.md](references/pyproject-toml-examples.md) for default settings) - Template: [assets/pyproject.toml.template](assets/pyproject.toml.template)

  1. Install pytest

- Install pytest as dev dependency based on selected environment - Use commands (avoid writing code directly)

  1. Type Checking Setup (Optional)

- Ask the user if they want ty setup - Install ty as dev dependency if needed - Add ty configuration to pyproject.toml - Reference: [pyproject-toml-examples.md](references/pyproject-toml-examples.md)

  1. Pre-commit Setup (Optional)

- Ask the user if they want pre-commit setup - Install pre-commit and create .pre-commit-config.yaml if needed - Reference: [pre-commit-setup.md](references/pre-commit-setup.md) - Template: [assets/.pre-commit-config.yaml.template](assets/.pre-commit-config.yaml.template)

  1. VSCode Settings Suggestion

- Suggest creating .vscode/settings.json when using VSCode - Include ruff and ty (if configured) settings - Reference: [vscode-settings.md](references/vscode-settings.md) - Template: [assets/.vscode-settings.json.template](assets/.vscode-settings.json.template)

  1. Create .gitignore

- Create .gitignore if it doesn't exist - Include common Python ignores for virtual environments, cache files, build artifacts, IDE files, and OS files - Template: [assets/.gitignore.template](assets/.gitignore.template)

Principles

  • Command-first: Use commands whenever possible instead of writing code directly
  • Use pyproject.toml: Store all configuration in pyproject.toml
  • Dev dependencies: Install ruff, pytest, ty, and pre-commit as dev dependencies
  • User confirmation: Confirm with user for environment selection, ty, and pre-commit before proceeding
