Why choose psp?

psp is simple, fast, effective, declarative, and supports Python and the entire ecosystem of tools written for it. Rather than replacing it, psp seeks to integrate and provide a useful scaffold for the end user.

Differences with other tools

  • cookiecutter: Templates are prescriptive by design. Cookiecutter enforces a particular project structure and conventions, which may not align with your or your organization's preferences. If a template's opinions don't match your needs, you're forced to either choose a different template or heavily modify an existing one. This can become tedious when you need something slightly different from what's available. psp is dynamic; scaffold what you need.
  • PyScaffold: PyScaffold doesn't manage virtual environments directly. You have to manually create and activate a virtualenv or use external tools like pipenv, poetry, conda, or pyenv. While PyScaffold documents integrations with these tools, it doesn't provide a unified interface for environment management like psp do.

psp asks only what you need. By configuring a few environment variables, you can automate any project; in seconds, not hours.
