This project is suppose to be a template structure.
In a more complex project, you may have multiple core modules, utility modules, and even third-party modules as dependencies. Below is an extended example:
my_project/
├── core_module/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── core_class1.py
│ └── core_class2.py
├── util_module/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── util_class1.py
│ └── util_class2.py
├── third_party_module/
│ └── ... (third-party code or Git submodule)
├── scripts/
│ ├── migration_script.py
│ └── build_script.py

- core_module/: This could be the heart of your application, providing the main functionality.
- util_module/: Common utility classes and functions that are used across different parts of the project.
- third_party_module/: Any third-party libraries or modules that you are directly including in your project. This could also be managed as a Git submodule.
- scripts/: Scripts that are not part of the main application, such as build scripts, data migration scripts, etc.
- tests/:
- unit/: Unit tests
- integration/: Integration tests
- e2e/: End-to-end tests
- docs/:
- index.md: Landing page for your documentation
- api_reference.md: Documentation on the API
- config/: Configuration files, could be in JSON, YAML, or other formats.
- Dockerfile: For containerization
- README.md: Project overview and setup instructions.
- requirements.txt: A list of all Python dependencies.
- setup.py: Installation script
- .gitignore: List of files and folders to ignore in git.
This structure is modular, making it easier to manage even as the project grows in complexity. It also makes it straightforward for new developers to understand the organization of the codebase.
