New Python Projects using Cookiecutter

[ebresie]

May want to consider "archetype" functionality existing in mvn which allows a given archetype to auto generate a basic temple projects of a specific archetype

I think a good way of doing so is possibly using something like:

• https://github.com/cookiecutter
• https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter

From https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter

• Documentation: https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/
• GitHub: https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter
• PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/cookiecutter/

May also think about http://springerle.github.io/py-generic-project/

For this use case it will involve:

1. Select File...New Project...Cookiecutter
2. In wizard, populate a list of available cookie cutter template types
3. Execute the necessary commands to cookie cutter to generate the project specific files.
4. Any post processing of the project for use in Python4NB project contexts
