Generate a Python package project:

cookiecutter https://github.com/ashwinjv/cookiecutter-pypackage.git

Then:

• Create a repo and put it there.
• Add the repo to your Travis CI account.
• Add the repo to your ReadTheDocs account + turn on the ReadTheDocs service hook.
• Add the repo to your coveralls account
• Run tox to make sure all tests pass.
• Release your package the standard Python way.

Don't worry, you have options:

• Nekroze/cookiecutter-pypackage: Base for this fork, uses pytest
• audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage: The original pypackage, uses unittest

for testing and other minor changes.

If you have differences in your preferred setup, I encourage you to fork this to create your own version. Once you have your fork working, add it to the Similar Cookiecutter Templates list with a brief explanation. It's up to you whether or not to rename your fork.

I also accept pull requests on this, if they're small, atomic, and if they make my own packaging experience better.
