App with dependencies

Templated for basic Python projects.

That uses requirement.txt and pip which are the traditional/common choices. And setup.cfg as from my research that is also the popular/modern way to go. Use requirements-lock.txt if you care about subdependencies.

If you care about installing your project itself (not just its dependencies), so it can be installed by others for example, only then do you need to worry about setup.py.

Install your app as a package

See my installable package template here:

Or

  • setup.py 
      #!/usr/bin/env python
  """
  Install my-app.
  """

  import setuptools

  setuptools.setup()

Some tools like poetry need pyproject.toml.

And if using Pipenv then use Pipfile and Pipfile.lock.
