Hello,
I am not sure if I looked into the correct sources. I was looking in
"PEP 609 – Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) Governance" [1] and the
"PyPA specifications" [2].
My question in short: Is there an official document (e.g. a PEP) about a
recommended layout for project folders.
Looking into the wild and past there are a lot of variations of such
layouts. I am far away from being a pro but depending on experience in
my own projects and what I have learned from others (e.g. in
blog-posts/tutorials) I recommend to have the "test" folder and the
package folder side by side on the same level in the project folder (the
root).
my_project
|- tests
| └ test_*.py
|- my_package
| └ __init__.py
└-- README.md
I sometimes add to it the so called "src"-Layout where the package
folder is one level deeper in an extra "src" folder.
my_project
|- tests
| └ test_*.py
|- src
| └- my_package
| └ __init__.py
└-- README.md
I don't want to discuss the pros and cons of all variations. What I need
is an official document I can use in discussions with other maintainers.
If there is a PEP/document against my current recommendation I am also
fine with this. ;)
Kind
