Python project template

This repo contains a cookiecutter template for a Python project, including pre-commit hooks for linting and GitHub Actions for automatically running tests using pytest.

The template supports two Python packaging tools: poetry and pip-tools.

It is particularly geared towards the needs of Imperial College's Research Software Engineering team, but hopefully it should be generically useful. If you find any problems or have any questions, please raise an issue.
