First release of our template-python-package tool!
template-website, we’ve now released our second ‘platform’ product, which we’ve officially released on GitHub and Zenodo :tada:
On September 1, 2025, we formally published the first release of our second platform products to Zenodo. This product is a templating tool for creating Python packages, called template-python-package.
Read our announcement post about our first platform product template-website, which also includes a short description of platform engineering.
As with template-website, we built this tool to help us with our own development work. We build Python packages for (most) of our software, and this template is a tool to manage configuration drift and provide a scaffold whenever we make a new Python package.
Importantly, this tool helps improve our own developer experience and teamwork by ensuring we have access to and use the same development tooling and build processes across packages.
Can others use it?
As with our template-website, yes, others can use this template too! Check out our guide for instructions on how to use it.
